All We Ever See Of Stars Are Their Old Photographs

The redness of his face permits

The truth his words won't dare admit

His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens

Broken doors and thoughtless words

The tyre tracks on her dead lawn

Feeble threats and loveless debts

Prove nothing when she steals your breath

She stands tall with strength; not height

You can see the fists inside her eyes

Now it's time for her revenge,

Delivered acid tongue

God pity/help him

She sits there in the aftermath

As the cars are driving slowly past

Broken doors and thoughtless words

The tyre tracks on her dead lawn

Feeble threats and loveless debts

Prove nothing when she steals your breath

She sits there in the aftermath

And listens as cars drive slowly past

His final show, his lies

Have done nothing but cure her smile

Her bruises fade from black to blue

Over time, they slowly heal

You think you've grown, found love again

When you break your own heart, it will never mend

Broken doors and thoughtless words

The tyre tracks on her dead lawn

Feeble threats and loveless debts

Prove nothing when she steals your breath
