I left home to join you in this circus
I was starstruck and young, filled with hope to explore.
She could swing the trapeze, we would sleep on the floor.
Our friendship begun in December,
On the one summer day that winter gave up.
You have warm summer eyes, that flickered like firefies,
When you stare at the world.
So why do you leave these stories unfinished?
And why don't you have tears in your eyes?
Why do you look when you already have me?
And what did you find to have you leave me behind?
I was raised in a small no-name city,
Before I moved to L.A. for her firefly stare.
You loved the beach and how it sparkled
You grow up and you sparkled but why don't you care?
These nights I get high just from breathing.
When I lie here with you, I'm sure that I'm real,
Like fireworks over the freeway, I could stay here all day
But that's not how you feel.
So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
This circus awaits and your already gone.
My sunshine is leaving with no fear in her smile,
What makes it so easy to leave me behind?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
And what makes it easy for you to leave me behind.
