Everything around me lies still
As if unaware of the pain I feel.
My breath is already racing as I begin,
All my mistakes playing over again
Like a broken record in my head.
I run but cannot get away
From all the words I've said today.
And every step, every breath,
Paints the ground with sad regret;
With colors like before we met.
You are every moment, every mile.
And I'd kill if I could see your smile.
The heat that kisses my skin,
That dampens my shirt,
Is the same heat that keeps me from you.
Tell me when does summer end,
Tell me when can I try again?
I need to know we'll be okay,
But all I can do is run away.
