Lamento

You made me believe
You opened your hands like a nest
To hold my heart in them

You made me believe
You ran your hand over my eyes
To blur the first light
So I could never see again
Anything but your eyes
And I could never see again
Anything but your eyes

Now that you don’t want anything
Not to take my body
Not to see my eyes or keep my heart
I’m going to die

You made me believe in love
You touched my body with your hands
To rip my heart out
You made me believe
Because your love needed
To see me so fragile, lover, melancholic, and gloomy
And I could never see again
Anything but your eyes
And I could never see again
Anything but your eyes

Now that you don’t want anything
Not to take my body
Not to see my eyes or keep my heart
I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die
So you can hold my death in your
Hands
