apology: once and future

okay, so maybe I can't do this
my heart's apologetic
and I swear it's not your fault
my love's apocalyptic

yeah, I laugh at all the jokes
cuz they're funny
yeah, I blushingly agree
cuz I have no money

I guess my hand was meant for leashes
not interlacing
and my heart was meant for leeching
not communicating

yeah, there's a smile in my kiss
but not in my eyes
yeah, there's something behind it
but this isn't mine

I can never seem to have
just the thing I wanted
I can never seem to dream
of the eyes that haunted

me in tormented sighs
when I want forever
but this my true desire
taunts with the thought of never

oh yeah I'll plan my hopes
I'll mark my calendar
oh no I know the ropes
know what it's like to be far

and now I'll learn to place an hourglass on a breaking heart
and I'll learn to not let true love tear me true apart
