Once my skin peels away and my shade starts to fade,
I won't let you try anymore.
Once the door hits your back and your laugh hits my track,
I won't want anymore.
Once the dog starts to whine, once you feel that it's time,
I won't be here anymore.
Once you've noticed your sin and you've taken it in,
I will be gone.
I was your light and it wasn't right
to feel for you.
I wanted more and you weren't sure
if this was true.
You wanted me but you couldn't see
that it was real.
You hid from the world for a little girl
who helped you feel.
Once I've turned old and the records been sold,
You'll have gone away.
Once you forget that we were a fit,
You wont know what to say.
Once I have cried and you've done your sigh,
You'll scratch and moan.
Once you have seen that crumbled up dream,
You'll cry.
