You and Me

a Monotetra for Stretch Your Style...

You and Me


Trapped within a world of sadness.
Nothing else around but darkness.
All the tears I cried are countless.
This is madness, this is madness.

It’s all because we’re now apart,
that I know not, just how to start.
And all that is left, in my part---
a frozen heart, a frozen heart.

Everything has turned black and white.
I wonder if I’ll be all right,
when there’s nothing else but the night.
You were my light, you were my light.

I thought it would be you and me.
But it happened, a tragedy.
Still I’m yours, though there’s no more we.
Permanently, permanently…
