My many admirers bring me flowers | |
But I spend my nights alone | |
They promise me diamond rings | |
I prefer to wear rhinestones | |
It’s your light on my face | |
Your carefully chosen hues | |
You know the stories behind my words | |
You know me far beyond my cues | |
But the loneliest place is on this pedestal | |
All these eyes upon me, and I just want you | |
Limn me in pinks and golds and reds | |
The colors of the flowers they send | |
Bathe me in the softest warmth | |
In this secret duet we perform | |
I don’t need any more roses or rings | |
But I need the stage like I air | |
I lament the distance | |
But you and I both need me here | |
Are you just a beacon, or are you home? | |
If you only asked me, I would go and come | |
All the wants and shoulds and maybes | |
Of my idiot heart are not what you want to hear | |
Can you bear it one more time | |
Illuminate the longing I feel |
