Slow Waltz

I lay awake at night
As the candles burn out and that smell of cheap perfume fades
A jazzy song keeps repeating in my head
"I cried for you" it says, oh how I did!

Today has been an empty day
And now I think about it while I stare at the ceiling
No sad lyrics can compare to what I'm feeling
Everything in this room screams "I need you baby"

-Chorus-
Heavy words are falling like tears
Across my skin they dance
A slow waltz with the scent of you that lingers
On my clothes
Every touch, every kiss, I feel too much
But at the same time I'm so numb I can't even believe you exist
I whisper your name in a slow waltz of pain

It's much too hot in here
I'm suffocating, I'm choking on my own will to fly
On my window there are the tears of the sky
Because the candle flame has just dried mine

There are no wishing stars tonight
And today I didn't catch 11:11
You are the wish I send everyday to heaven
For the angels to grant it, I'll wait forever

-Chorus-
Heavy words are falling like tears
Across my skin they dance
A slow waltz with the scent of you that lingers
On my clothes
Every touch, every kiss, I feel too much
But at the same time I'm so numb I can't even believe you exist
I whisper your name in a slow waltz of pain

-Bridge-
This is your air and this is your atmosphere
This is your mind and this is your very last tear
The last 3 a.m I catch with your picture in my hand
Because for now, all that is mine is

-Chorus-
Heavy words that are falling like tears
Across my skin they dance
A slow waltz with the scent of you that lingers
On my clothes
Every touch, every kiss, I feel too much
But at the same time I'm so numb I can't even believe you exist
I whisper your name in a slow waltz of pain

As impressive as ever, dear. It seems so sad yet has a gentleness at the same time. Add this to your "well done" collection. At least, that is what I believe. I do not think you will dissapoint me with anything you write, indeed. Wonderful job!

Thank you very much I wrote it in like....15 minutes or so haha ....

Even more impressive! Not so for me. It takes me an hour or two. That just means you have all your thoughts together.

Great lyrics just like ur other ones

Another treasure Angel. I should also confess (like you did) that sometimes I can't stop tears from rolling down my cheek. This was no exception, in fact it's near the top of my list of your greats.

I believe crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength, of the courage to admit how you feel
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to comment on like...all my songs. It really means a lot to me.
