Dumb Enough

Close your eyes and wish to be

The exact spot right next to me

I’m only a writer without a muse

Love that’s been confused with abuse

A stone that sunk before it skipped

A page of words before it’s ripped

 

A sky full of clouds

The glow of the moon

Loved too much

Way too soon

 

You hold me in a cage

Instead of your arms

It was stupid, I know,

To fall for your charms

 

But I did

And I know

That you’ll just let me go

Without saying you love me

It hurts ‘cause it’s true

It hurts because I was dumb enough

To fall in-love with you.

 

You told me everything would be alright

But that’s not true

Because tonight

Your arms aren’t where they’re supposed to be

They aren’t wrapped around me

 

You’re like a song I’ve heard before

But just barely remembered

As you walked through that door

 

You’re my light in the Darkness

My smile in the rain

You’re my kiss in the morning

At the end of the day

 

But you’ve pushed me away

Taken all I hold dear

But I still keep hoping

That you’ll just appear

 

And even though I made you laugh

And heard you cry

You’re still telling me goodbye

 

It was stupid, I know,

To fall for your eyes

 

But I did and I know

That you’ll still let me go

Without saying you love me

It hurts ‘cause it’s true

It hurts because I was dumb enough

To fall in-love with you.

 

I need my light in the Darkness

My smile in the rain

My kiss in the morning

And at the end of the day

 

But you’re gone

And I know

You are letting me go

 

And all that I know

Is that I was dumb enough

 

To believe

And to hope

Instead of grieve

All alone

‘Cause prayers didn’t help me get through

 Realizing that you would never

Feel the way I do

 

This hurts because I was dumb enough

To fall in-love with you
