Somewhat Damaged

Whatever's on her mind has her smiling
But it's not enough to make me smile back
The letter she received has yellowed with age
And the sentiment I wrote on it isn't felt anymore

Throw this away with the rest of the debris you left behind
Wither away into oblivion as the sun sets
What it was that I needed to tell you has faded on the page
And the ashes fly away on the breeze from the tip of my tongue

Let's see if he can convince me otherwise
Wrap your arms around me one last time before I fade away
Out of your life and into oblivion without you
Remember how it used to be but can never be again

Whatever's on her mind has her smiling
But I still can't smile as much as I'd like to
The letter never arrived at her doorstep
It blew away into oblivion with me as I stepped away from her forever
