The Waltz

Heal me I am shattered on the tiles of your kitchen I am sharp edge after sharp edge if you listen And I know it hurts to hold me But oh, how nice it glistens, the blood in summer heat Fix me I am not fine china or work of art Just prone to falling apart when no one's watching I ache and I toss, If nobody was watching was there even a loss? Safe for a minute Mercurochrome and lint The bruises on my hands could use a kiss or two Smile for me darling It's morphine, my starling I kick myself, you set my bones without a clue When the night falls, you'll be right there Not a wake-up call, just someone who cares And I must be out of my mind, I am not beyond reality Would I dance until the end of time just for the chance you'd dance with me If there's no reason then I'll rhyme If there's no music there's a beat And the night falls And my brain goes There's my downfall And the pain grows Am I something here? Am I make-believe? Is it good to hope when someone always leaves? Heal me I am shattered on the tiles of your kitchen But it's only when you're broken are you wishing for somebody to cling to Somebody to hold and somebody to sing to
