Why Won't You Love Me - Timberwolf

I float around this empty house

With ghosts from when you came around

But none of them fulfill me like you do

And after all this time, I don’t know why I find myself

Shining a light of broken mirrors

For the corner of your pupils

On the surface of this barren land

I sweep with my own eyes

For ruins of where our love used to grow

When graceful slender palms stretch like rockets to the moon

Dancing lazy in the crosswind

Swirling to and fro

But I’m tired of waking nauseous

Wondering if you lay dreaming

The same way that I always dream of you

And sometimes I feel fine

Convince myself we had our time

And surrender to the beauty of this tragedy 'til I find

Your jumper in the laundry

Your poems in my kitchen

And I see your face when I touch myself

You’re the blood in all of my lyrics

Like stars beyond a cloudy night

The cigarette without a light

A letter on your fallen father’s grave

Like a sunflower seed

That never tasted water

And never got the see the light of day

We’re beautifully wasted

But one question still remains

Why won’t you love me?

Was I ever really there?

Why won’t you love me?

Did I make it far too easy?

Why won’t you love me?

Under bright green fallen stars

Why won’t you love me?

Like trying to run from the moon

There’s no escape from loving you

And the horizon shows no clues

Or shelter for my refuge

And I’m tired of waking nauseous

Wondering if you lay dreaming

The same way that I always dream of you

And sometimes I feel fine

Convince myself we had our time

And surrender to the beauty of this tragedy 'til I find

Your jumper in the laundry

Your poems in my kitchen

And I see your face when I fucking touch myself

You’re the blood in all of my lyrics

Like stars beyond a cloudy night

The cigarette without a light

A letter on your fallen father’s grave

Like a sunflower seed

That never tasted water

And never got the see the light of day

We’re beautifully wasted

But one question still remains

Why won’t you love me?

For every moonlit sacred dance

Why won’t you love me?

Was I only second best?

Why won’t you love me?

Did I not touch you right?

Why won’t you love me?

For every month spent by your side

Why won’t you love me?

For every tear upon my shoulder

Why won’t you love me?

For every poem, every letter

Why won’t you love me?

For making love in your front yard

Why won’t you love me?

Under bright green fallen stars

WON’T you love me?
