Say it was your babel Say it was my babel It was my babel Tell all people Now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing Breaking, hating till you lost it all Where was your girlfriend, he was not your ??? Where you were going, you're on your own He was quick to burning He was slow to learning Though inside your misty He still kissed her when she cried And did your best to please her And then get up and leave her You befriended the harsh way it ended now sleep tight
