Howards Alias - Exit On Left

Exit On Left

All reasons that we had to disguise
These feelings went down then flew up to the skies.
Like a child's balloon we'll soon forget.
Did you look back when you left that day
To forget about all this hurt and pain?
When you kissed me I knew it would be no more.

It's not too late to erase all our past mistakes but this space,
That's between us now, it surrounds us now.
It can be filled right out if we try.

All the times we've tried to take all of the things
That turned this hate sour and cold, did you ever even think we had a chance?
All the times we've tried to make amends to the life
We built through this rose-tinted lens, did you ever think we had a chance?
What do you think?

Running far away from these feelings is all we can do
If we want to live a lie and live our lives in shadows that aren't there.
Why do we constantly run ourselves into the ground
With these apathetic attitudes towards all we can achieve with perseverance,
Hard work and a willingness to share our joy?

The soft caress of happiness could be the be all and end all of our lives.
