"When it's Over"

Lying in bed wondering what happened within that split second 
As I set myself on fire with the sole thought of keeping you warm 
Maybe I will be better off without you many of my friends reckoned
The questions continue to surround my mind and attack me in a swarm 

My eyes watered and flooded unexpectedly like the Houston weather 
Did you know? Did you care? Did you not want to stay together? 
I undoubtedly gave you my love yet you asked for a receipt, for a return 
Nothing made me hurt as much, only you left a scar, only you left a burn  

The grey skies on that day howled above me as if they felt the same pain 
Was this the day of love or affection, the day of confections and carnations 
Could there be anything that related to me better than this pouring rain 
This was the day to celebrate love yet I had no love to give, nor any connection 

I don’t like being sober 
That’s when it hits me it’s over.
