the pact

you said it yourself, we had a pact

even pricked our fingers as the final act

it was written in stone, but now the stone is cracked

salt burning our eyes.

hold the years back

...i'm still holding 'em back.

 

heaven waits at the top of the stairs

ribbon tied around a lock of your hair

"haven't you ever felt something that wasn't there?"

 

i've seen it, but has it seen me?

hard to love or easy to leave?

new troubles dampening sleeves

you say the words, but what do they mean?

 

washed soft pieces of letters still lining your pocket

crossed out my picture still set in your locket

 

one touch...

one taste...

one kiss is all that it takes. 

bruised lips...

new aches...

fast forward past the mistakes. 

 

a few more drops to tip the scales

the smell of my skin still under you nails

 

one touch...

one taste...

fast forward past the mistakes. 

 

nothing's ever enough.
