“Papercup Chandeliers“
leo.bañares
i’m sitting in the corner
in this blackout hour.
trying to write,
this simple song for you.
lit by a candle,
i watched as the wax slide down.
and everytime i think of you,
the faster the candle burns.
you shine your light on me,
through these papercup chandeliers.
i see your reflection,
through these painted mysteries.
and why do you hide from me,
when i knew all along.
that these papercup chandeliers,
just hide what you really feel.
i wanna look into your eyes,
i wanna see the truth that lies.
i wanna hear your voice,
i wanna hear the words i longed for.
i guess i am wrong,
i am just a worthless dreamer.
i guess you’re too good for me,
but still i want you to hear me say that…
you shine your light on me,
through these papercup chandeliers.
i see your reflection,
through these painted mysteries.
and why do you hide from me,
when i knew all along.
that these papercup chandeliers,
just hide what you really feel.
oh…
no i never thought that you could be mine.
no i never dreamed of myself with you.
no i never even knew if this is true.
i guess there are many things to say like…
you shine your light on me,
through these papercup chandeliers.
i see your reflection,
through these painted mysteries.
and why do you hide from me,
when i knew all along.
that these papercup chandeliers,
just hide what you really feel.
