this hourglass, its' for you.

i can't say i'm the same.
no, not the same as i was before.
i can't say i'm proud of my name.
cuz love don't live here anymore.

"you've abandoned me,
love don't live here anymore.
just a vacancy,
love don't live here anymore."

this myspace transmissions record of city and colour is amazing. i can't stop listening. its so raw. almost the record from dallas we've been waiting to hear. same songs, just recorded live with the power in his mouth. ahh! i'm in love.



so i've let go.
i've let go awhile ago.
when you'd first told me, you're with her.
i promised i'd never let go.
you made me promise.
but i can't help but to think about you.
right now.
when its warm enough to travel to see you.
to have nowhere to go. so we go to the park.
and it was a night like tonight.
a night like tonight when i decided you were good.
even though everyone said you weren't.
but you were, and you were broken.
so i took care of you.
and i saw you smile.
and i saw you sad.
and you said you loved me.
but i couldn't respond.
and that was my mistake.
that's where it all went wrong.
so here we are. i'm here, and you're with her.
and i'm okay with that.
because all i ever wanted was to see you happy.
but now i don't see you.
its almost that i've been blinded.
because i'm here.
and you're here.
but i can't see you.
maybe i never really could.
because the night you opened to me,
i just sat there. and listened.
but i didn't offer my hand.
no, not when i needed to.
and that's where i lost you.
but you're better off now.
you're here,
and i'm here
and so is she.
and she's pretty.
she's good for you, from what i hear.
and i hope she's happy.
i hope she appreciates you
because i didn't.
no, not until it was too late.
and that was my mistake.
so goodbye heartache.

this hourglass, its for you.
