Analysis of Memories
A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)
When I think of starlight, I think of you
When I am dreaming, I dream of you
When I am singing, I sing for you
When I am here, I'm away from you
Every breath I breathe, I breathe for you
Every time I beat my wings, I will fly to Heaven with you
When I cry, every tear that falls, in it is a reflection of you
When I screamed and fought for our baby, where were you
Baby, you were supposed to love me with every beat of your heart, like I loved you
When I look in the depths of somebody else's eyes, I hate myself for thinking of you
Again, when I lost the fight for our baby, where the fuck were you
And for that, deep down in my heart, I catch myself hating you
