Blue - John Askew

Casino nights swell up in lights

The smell of your hair and your glare

I knew all along, you’re trying to keep me here

You’re trying to hide your tears

A compromise so black and white

Is this your deepest fear?

I need to believe you’re here

If only to save my life

But there is nothing left here now

Nothing left between us

Nothing left beneath us

But I will not let you go

Over nothing much at all
