ERASER

There's something on this page I can't erase

To say I've tried too many times

I cannot overstate how many different ways

I've tried to tear it out, I've tried to start again

 

But slowly I know only I'm to blame

I relive time like I'm in yesterday

But it seems there is no spare room, the words won't dare fit

The plot it just gets thinner

 

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

 

There's a look upon your face I can't shake

I've seen you smile too many times 

Floating further into space I cannot look away

Tried to turn I only see your face again

 

Quickly you fall swiftly in the gaze

Of your new found love while I begin to fade

Now I'm standing on a new stage and I haven't learnt the bit

Spotlight getting dimmer

 

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper

 

I'll admit it's feeling strange

That we believe a friendship may still remain

An optimistic fool

Wading in the deep end of an endless pool of doubts. 

Just swimming, swimming under clouds 

 

Well there's something in how light creates the shade

How fast the dark adapts our sight

A call from you today in such a sorry state

It's hard to hear you're heart broke apart again

 

Being lonely shows you know a better place

One to leave makes space for one to gain

So let's say there's more to us than words no longer dimly lit

And build upon a glimmer 

 

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper

You're the ink unto my paper

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

You're the ink unto my paper
