stolen moments in my mind
stolen away from me
i hurt you to make you stay
you hurt me to feel something new
i wandered along the avenue
i paused for a second
maybe two
you whispered to me
when we laid in bed
you said the nicest things to me back then
right before you fell asleep
always before you fell asleep
the next day it was the same
the newspaper where you left it
the dishes piled high above our heads
and the look you gave me
the one that set in the sun
it was
it was
...

you used to make me laugh
i barely remember what my voice was like back then
you had a way
you had a way with me
you had a way with me sometimes
all the time
when you wanted to
but it was always when you wanted
never on my time
never in my mind
never when i needed you the most
but always when i couldn't stand to be around you
like you were trying to be the glue
but honey
it was always me
i was always the glue
and now it's something even i can see
