#winter split

My dear, I was told you left town.  I was told you're smiling now that you're out.  You're free.  You're finally free.

So there you go.. Look at you now, young and alone. Oh, there you go.. Look at you now, it's all my fault. You look so sweet running free. You've got your prayers, I've got me. So there you go.. I loved you so. So there you go.. Look at you now, so beautiful. Oh, there you go.. Look at you now, I've lost it all. You look so sweet without me. You've got your friends, I can't feel a thing. So there you go.. I loved you so.

I could feel the cold drifting in my room today.  I could feel the cold coming here to stay.  I could see the lights, they remind me that the sun won't shine.  I could see the lights that have taken all my time.  But now that I see that you're on your way.  Wish I could find a way to make you stay.  And then you would see the sun shining on my face.  And would you say the things that you want to say?  I would come to life if you'd remind me that we'll be alright.  I would come to life through something; someone; a sign.  I just want you to say, you're filling up my cup today.  Just want you to say, "oh my dear it will be okay.'  But now that I see that you're on your way.  Wish I could find a way to make you stay.  And now that I see the sun shining on your face.  Wish I could say the things that I want to say.

So there you go..  Look at you now, young and alone.  Oh, there you go..  Look at you now, it's all my fault.  You look so sweet running free.  You've got your prayers, I've got me.  So there you go..  I loved you so.  So there you go..  Look at you now, so beautiful.  Oh, there you go..  Look at you now, I've lost it all.  You look so sweet without me.  You've got your friends, I can't feel a thing.  So there you go..  I loved you so.

You were high, I was late.  I was hearing of your mistakes.  You took a pill just in case you had trouble with sleep today.  Well, what about your plans?  What happened to them?  You got a job out of state when you're friends all went away.  You were drunk, I was hours away.  You were happy and I was safe.  Well, what about your shame?  Yeah, I've got my share.  Don't you want to wish?  What happened to that?  Is that what you call living?  Is that what you call that?

I bet you know where I've been.  I've been out a few nights in a role, playing the same role.  I bet you know.  I know you know.  My sweet escape, you've been good to me.  I'll keep you here and I wont feel a thing.  My baby is crying and I am happy.  A touch from another to put you to sleep from me.  I couldn't help myself, I just didn't know.  I bet you know where I've been.  I've been up on the center fold, but still no one knows.  I bet you know.  I know you know.  My sweet escape, you've been good to me.  I'll keep you here and I wont feel a thing.  My baby is crying and I am happy.  A touch from another to put you to sleep from me.  I couldn't help myself, sick of the same role.  I know you know.

Dear, how have you been?  Have you found who you are like you wanted?  My dear, I've been doing fine.  I feel safe and locked up, at least I'm feeling well.  Dear, I've been all around.  I have seen all of the places you would always talk about.  My dear, I was told you left town.  I was told you're smiling now that you're out.  You're free.  You're finally free.  Dear, why don't you look the way that you used to?  My dear, I can tell that you've been used  But you're probably used to that.  Dear, I've came around.  I could speak for days of who I am now.  My dear, have you heard?  I've been happy like you for a while now.  I'm free.  I'm finally free.
