Sober

You turned my Winter nights,
Into the sweetest Summer dreams.
But now the frost has come back,
And we're frozen in between.

You cut away the tight strings,
That held me to a memory,
But now the rope has been re-tied,
And I'm feeling half-empty.

Now this feels like everything's undone,
And when I was trying to keep up, I was outrun.
The way we are now is not that much closer,
I guess I was lovedrunk before and now I'm sober.
But sober's not the way to be...

You turned my strange ideas,
Into poems with words so perfect,
But now I have this broken fantasy,
And I'm not sure it was worth it...

Now this feels like everything's undone,
And when I was trying to keep up, I was outrun.
The way we are now is not that much closer,
I guess I was lovedrunk before and now I'm sober.
But sober's not the way to be...

But even though we're not together,
We're together in a different way.
I guess before I was high on emotion,
I just didn't have the heart to say.

Now this feels like everything's undone,
And when I was trying to keep up, I was outrun.
The way we are now is not that much closer,
I guess I was lovedrunk before and now I'm sober.
And sober's the way for me.
"And now I'm numb as Hell and I can't feel a thing,
But don't worry about regret or guilt coz I never knew your name.
I just wanna thank you, thank you,
From the bottom of my heart,
For all the sleepless nights,
And for tearing me apart"
-P!nk, Long Way To Happy

I guess I wasn't really broken properly; just now I have no purpose.

At least this can be turned into a song.....right?

i like it very much. good concept on a too-familiar topic for many of us.

did you listen to boys like girls 'lovedrunk' before writing this? that one line sounds familiar.
