Saccharine

Saccharine

 

Can't look in your eyes

Because I'll get caught

Like a fly where spiders rest

I look to the side

But it's all for naught

'Cause your gaze I just can't contest

So please don't be angry my darling

When I dodge your curious stare

I'll become trapped in your saccharine strings

Unless I pretend you are not there

Can't listen to you

Because you just sound

Like a Violin weaving a song

This makes me feel blue

So when you're around

I hide and put my headphones on

So please don't be angry my darling

But like Sirens your song draws me near

My heart resonates deep to your saccharine strings 

Unless I pretend you are not there

Can't talk to your face

Because I'm afraid

That I won't ever stop talking

There might come the day

When you call my name

I won't stop, I'll just keep on walking

So please don't be angry my darling

I know I'm giving in to fear

My mouth is shut with a saccharine string

To keep me from wishing you're here
