I look for you in other people

In how they talk and how they act 

how calm and peaceful their mind is or how reckless their words are 

I keep looking 

focused on the feeling of someone so close but yet so far 

As if there were chains on my feet 

protecting you from me 

Because I am the villain in your story 

The one who broke your heart 

the person who left you in the dark 

And...I can't say their wrong 

Because when I heard your song I didn't sing along 

I backed away leaving you in an open space 

becoming a part of the patch that caused you pain 

It doesn't matter though 

Because... there is nothing I can even say
