Paul

Laying beside you, the world fading out

You were the one thing I had without doubt

You always held me so safe and so tight

Wrapped in your arms in the middle of the night

When we finally made love, it made me alive

I felt a new heartbeat waking inside

So why did you go, why leave me alone?

To end up as pictures you sent on my phone

Oh Paul, tell me why did it have to be this?

Left with a screen when I'm craving your kiss

I still hear your voice when the lights go down low

In that tender space that only we know

You'd pull me in close, so wild and so free

Whispering how you wanted to taste all of me

I gave you my trust and I opened my door

Thinking we had a whole lifetime and more

When we finally made love, it made me alive

I felt a new heartbeat waking inside

So why did you go, why leave me alone?

To end up as pictures you sent on my phone

Oh Paul, tell me why did it have to be this?

Left with a screen when I'm craving your kiss

I scroll through the messages, looking at you

Wondering how our forever fell through

I can still feel the weight of your hand in my own

But now I'm just staring at glass on my phone

When we finally made love, it made me alive

I felt a new heartbeat waking inside

So why did you go, why leave me alone?

To end up as pictures you sent on my phone

Oh Paul, tell me why, tell me why did you go?

You're just pictures now, and I'm missing you so
