An Unmistakeable Tragedy

I ran past train tracks
Confused in the dark

I took the elevator
Stuck with no spark

Between you and
The girl of my dreams

Little did I know that
Nothing's as it seems

I was trapped there
Between two extremes

Not knowing
What was up

Not knowing
What was down

I looked in the mirror
My hair reddish brown

You were my reflection
And she was nowhere to be found

But I was unaware
My love was turning around

I never woulda guessed I'd
Start anew

But that elevator
Suddenly went askew

And now you are
The new love I wish I had

I was kidnapped
By a man that was mad

You were there too
And so was Christine

In the back of
A car so pristine

I didn't know what
This could all mean

Broke up with my girlfriend
The sparkless fling

To find out
That you're the new thing

Those green eyes
I left behind

And now yours are
Stuck in my mind

I'm not heartbroken
Like I was last time

But I'm still lonely
Cause I'm just a mime

A sad boy
With nothing but rhyme

How could a girl like you
Ever be mine?

When I had a voice and a girl
I would subconsciously pine

But I'm quiet now
And you ignore me

You never did break my heart
Officially

You never did break my heart
Figuratively

You never did break my heart
But I don't need dreams to tell me

That my love is
An unmistakeable tragedy
