[help/less///hope/less]

By Sky Singer

just a girl and a guitar
i fumble over notes and chords
striving for the melodies that
you once played for me
and i thought i could tame
your young and wild heart
but like trying to catch the wind
you slipped right through my hands

everyday i fight to forget you
everyday i struggle not to miss you
and everyday i fail

just a girl and a pen
i stumble over words and rhymes
making an attempt at lines like
you once wrote for me
and i thought i could take
the inevitable doleful consequence
but like punching out a window pane
you broke my heart in more than two

everyday i fight to forget you
everyday i struggle not to miss you
and every single day i fail

...but i still cherish you
i still cherish you...

everyday i fight to forget you
everyday i struggle not to miss you
and every single day i fail
