1:10 AM

 

The party ended ten minutes ago

But you are still here, watching me watch you

 

The party ended ten minutes ago

But the lights are still flashing, bursting bright

 

The lights are still flashing, filling my eyes,

I'm still staring at you, eyes open wide. 

 

The party ended ten minutes ago

Yet our bodies still dance to the rhythm

 

The rhythm of the room, of our heart beats

My heart jumps, as I circum to defeat

 

For as I move close, a shadow appears

It sweeps you away, and sweeps in my tears

 

The party ended ten minutes ago

The room is empty, And yet i'm still here
