This crazy wind, it blows tonight
And asks me what I'll tell
And if I lied, you'd never know
Because I do it well
If walls could talk
And shadows walk
To keep me company
I'd never want
Never be caught
In thin transparency
Is my heart so visible?
Can you see the veins?
Am I so predictable?
Melting in the rain
As if I ever needed this
Or merely needed you
Trace the footprints with my hands
Till the blood leaks through
I don't think you're wanted here
I don't think you're right
So how is it you hurt me so?
And make me cry at night?
You'd finally sympathize
I've only been turned inside out
For you to realize
It's like I'm painted on a mural
In the subway, by the train
Because you always pass me by
And I'm still melting in the rain
And while I'm dripping through your hands
Do you even see?
My colors stain your lifeless soul
But I just wash away
I guess I am your burden now
Something you wish to lose
But one thing about burdens is
They're something you can't choose
And if I am your burden now
How did that come to?
I used to be your everything
Everything to you
This hurting wind, it blows tonight
And asks me what I'll tell
And if I lied you'd never know
Because I do it well
