YOU STOLE MY HEART

You took the sunlight from my window
And the sweet perfume of your skin
You left the echo of your laughter
And a bitter silence on my page

I believed in all that you were giving
Like a child who dreams but cannot see
Now I write these verses in the shadows
With the broken ink of agony

You took away my only song
The most honest, the most true
And my voice was left to tremble
With a goodbye I never knew

You took away my heart that night
Like a thief who runs away
And you left me just this bolero
Of a sorrow meant to stay

You never loved with open spirit
I gave you mine without defense
Now my nights shake like a tango
No rhythm left, no Moon, no end

You took away my only song
And you left a thousand scars
But even through the pain I sing you
Though you're lost and gone so far

'Cause the bolero of this love
Doesn't die in last goodbyes
It lives on every wounded note
Of my voice, that was for you
