Turn around and let me see Let me see how you look with a blue like sea Walk towards me with that beautiful smile you like to hide Under the large bright chandelier In between the midst of many strangers Dressed in dresses and tuxes And shoes that clicked against the floor tiles like knuckles Why did I only see you? Why did I bump into women and stepped on the feets of men to get to you? Why did I sound like I’d run a thousand miles when I finally met you? Why did my lips start to quiver Because of the uncertainty of what to say? Maybe another day, I’d thought when I finally saw you I must be taking things too far That would explain why you looked stunned when I came into your view Like you were short of what kind of words to use to shoo me away So you could run the other way I ever only saw you rarely Why starve the world and I of such beauty? Why let flowers writhe in pain at the absence of your presence? Tell me Anabelle Are you afraid of the world Or you’re scared the world would be afraid of you? One mustn’t think too much We are unaware of how long we have to live Let’s savour it, Anabelle You and I Under the blue sky With you in that dress And a piece of pie Come with me Walk with me Twirl for me Dance for me Laugh with me Like you have no worries left to think about Like I was the only one in the universe you thought of Like I was the one for you And you were the one for me Let’s savour it Gaslight ourselves Maybe, we’d get the happy lives we so strived for Maybe, we weren’t broken people who kept on breaking each other I ruined you and you destroyed me Anabelle, tell me Why let it linger? The hope for something better, the thought that we would have been better if we played our cards right? Why dream about me? Think about me? Let me walk into that head of yours? Why let that feeling reside? I am gone Why call for me? When you know you were the only one I’d ever only run to No matter how you broke my heart Tore it to pieces and left me with a half baked organ to care for. Let me go Let me go Anabelle
