Wearing Gray

He says he’s there for me,
Encourages my dreams,
He’d be there if I was
Falling apart at the seams.
I’m holding my breath,
And I don’t know why –
I can’t let it out, and
I can’t even let myself cry.

Making up our very own happy ending,
And wondering why dreams can’t come true.
There are so many ways
This could have gone,
I still don’t know just where
We went wrong,
It’s harder to think as I turn out the light,
