Sight Unseen - Over + Again

I really thought that you could see
When my eyes were still so new
I'd have sworn you made the sweet breeze
And the pinprick starlight, too

I knew you loved another
Thought that I took it in stride
For you I would have waited
Long, long past the point of pride

Over and again
I begin and end
For you
Once you were my friend
Or knew how to bend
Me, nothing I can do

With those goddamn eyes
Melting my mind
You would murmur echoes
Of the long lost ancient rhymes
You got me every time
Every damn time

Over and again
I begin, and end
For you
Friction of retreads
Set fire to my head
You knew
You always knew

I shouldn't have looked
Didn't want to see
How you chose your life
Unlocked the cipher
That did not mean me
It was never me

Over and again
I begin and ended
It's sad
And maybe tragic
Pathetic and prophetic
And it's magic

That rough trodden path
Threadbare splitting seams

Never crossed my mind

That the man of my dreams
Looked but could not see
He couldn't see me

Finally thought it over
One day in October
When you were not in view
And again
One thing to amend
I'm pretty sure that it was never really ever about you
