Only - Matt Pryor

In too many days, too many tears

Too many stories of our yesteryears

I couldn’t say the worst of my fears

I’m picking up the signs, maybe the end is near

But at long last

I recall the words that you told me

This will pass and the love you have

Will be for me, only:

After an hour, when I couldn’t speak

You tell a story that just makes me weep

It may be my age, I’m just getting weak

My skin’s not thick enough for this critique

But at long last

I recall the words that you told me

This will pass and the love you have

Will be for me, only:

There’s too many pains, too many cries

Too many hours drowning in your eyes

Those were the days, so full of lies

I guess I was in love with your disguise
