Pink from The Heights by Linda Ronald

Why did I fix my eyes in front of me
Thought everything was fine
But now you’re all that I see

See what you made me do
And now you’re a shadow that haunts this room

You hide in plain sight in front of me
Wait till I cross the line
Wait for the moment I see

See what you made me do
And now you’re a shadow that haunts this room

Should’ve left it in the box
Should’ve left well alone
Now I’m pacing the floor
Waiting for her to come home
Eyes burn and the beat gets louder
And now I’m living on borrowed time

This could never be my home
You make it too hard
You bring silk and stone
And I leave you scarred

Each time I step away
You take more ground
I think you’re getting your kicks
From just hanging around

Hanging around

You took your chance
You took your time
Behind my back
Left me no place to hide
While covering my tracks

See what you made me do
And now you’re a shadow that haunts this room

Should’ve left it in the box
Then nothing would’ve changed
Now I’m pacing the floor
But there’s no running away
Light fades and the beat gets louder
And why can’t I tear my eyes away

This could never be my home
You make it too hard
You bring silk and stone
And I leave you scarred

Each time I step away
You take more ground
I think you’re getting your kicks
From just hanging around

Hanging around

As the clock runs down
You’re laid out at my feet
like you need to be found
Like you want to be seen
You won’t fade, won’t hide
Hang me out to dry
Whispering what I’ve done
Pointing to where I’ve been
You come back with the dawn
It’s like you feed on the light
Each time I dare to hope
The end’s in sight
In the eye of the storm
I get the feeling we’ve gone
Too far this time

This could never be my home
You make it too hard
You bring silk and stone
And I leave you scarred

Each time I step away
You take more ground
I think you’re getting your kicks
From just hanging around

This could never be my home
You make it too hard
You bring silk and stone
And I leave you scarred

Each time I step away
You take more ground
I think you’re getting your kicks
From knowing I’ll be found

I’ll be found

We argued, should we fight or should we flee
No way to turn back time, got in too deep to come clean
See what you made me do
And now you’re a shadow that haunts this room
