A Place That I Don't Know

What else can I do
When the city skyline
Leaves me blue and indecisive
What else can I say
When your eyes, they dart to and fro
But I can't look away

I want to feel grounded
Like a sturdy oak
I want to be surrounded
By honest hope
I feel devoid of kindness
You have made this home
A place that I don't know
A place that I don't know

You were so unsure
Of your own desires
You were tearing at your seams
Alas you should have known
That these alterations
They were also changing me

And all the hurt it lingers
Like a silent ghost
All this empty anger
I should not have spoke
I want to give kindness
But you've taken me
To a place that I don't know
A place that I don't know

Hands that grasp at air where once were things of yours
It's a mess I didn't make but still it hurts me so
I yearn for you but oh my love you had to go
You made this home a place that I don't know

And all the times that I'd caress your freckled arms
When you would hold me in the early hours of dawn
These pictures don't make up for how you left me scorned
And so alone in this place that I don't know, this place that I don't know

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Know, oh, oh, oh, oh
