On And On And On

On and on

and on…

You looked just like your photographs

A perfect smile, a practiced laugh

By midnight you were holding me

Like I was all you’d ever need

On and on and on

You gave me just enough to stay On and on and on

Then took a little more away

I thought you looked into my eyes

You only saw yourself

On and on and on

Till I was someone else

You’d ask me how my day had been

Then watch yourself upon the screen

I knew your stories line by line

You couldn’t tell me one of mine

One night I turned the camera off And let the silence grow

You kept on talking to the dark And never seemed to know

You never loved me

You loved

being loved

On and on and on You gave me just enough to stay

On and on and on I finally walked away

I thought you looked into my eyes You only saw yourself On

and on and on Till I was someone else

On and on and on… You kept talking when I’d gone On

and on and on…
