Why Not Me

How cold these palms have run in the absence of yours Winter hunting for July, begging for relief, gasping for warmth Head for a heart that pounds in it's place all day long Filled with nothing but your thought, yearning for peace, cold and alone I can't believe you're gone And that this time it's for real Roses cover my wrist, petals fall from the wounds Time stands still Why not me Why not me Why not me Guess it's out of my hands and it's over, thats that Still on empty chests banging I scream Why not me Why not me Why not me Pull me into your arms just once more Hold me close, set me free Why not me Air wheight down slowly concaved my chest hollowed through Shut all the blinds, running in place, lost and confused My thorned throat twists when I thumb though pages of you Shamelessly blind, numb to the pain, used to the tune I can't believe you're gone And that this time it's for real Roses cover my wrist, petals fall from the wounds Time stands still Why not me Why not me Why not me Guess it's out of my hands and it's over, thats that Still on empty chests banging I scream Why not me Why not me Why not me Pull me into your arms just once more Hold me close, set me free Why not me
