I'm Sorry.

I told her,
once,
said, "Here, take this,"
I gave her something she might miss
I told her,
once,
to take this gift,
but she had something else to miss.

I told her,
once,
said, "Come with me,"
I thought that maybe then she'd see.
I told her,
once,
to come with me,
but she had somewhere else to be.

I told her,
once,
said, "Be with me,"
I never really thought she'd leave.
I told her,
once,
to be with me,
but she had someone else to see.

I told her,
once,
said, "I love you,"
a fool to think such love was true.
I told her,
once,
that I loved her,
but still her heart would not deter.

I told her,
once,
she didn't hear...
she went along without her dear...
I tried to tell her
long ago...
Maybe she didn't
want to know.

Oh how I loved that day on the shore;

I came with a hope but I found so much more...

I took what you gave but I gave all I had,

too high off the happy to choke on the sad.

but the movie's long over

the lights have undimmed

my heart's in a battle that time always wins

but still, you're more than time to me

you're more than time could ever be...

 

but the sweetest sleep's not what it seems

oh, infinite, merciless girl of my dreams...

Oh how I loved that day on the shore
I came with a hope but I found so much more
I took what you gave but I gave all I had
too high off the happy to choke on the sad
but the movie's long over; the lights have undimmed
my heart's in a battle that time always wins
still, you'll always be more than time to me,
greater than time really ever could be...
you're the corporeal form of a lone memory
of the ethereal child you only could see.
You're the long lost lover you hoped I would be.
and yet... do you... remember me...?

but the sweetest sleep's not what it seems
oh, infinite, merciless girl of my dreams...
