What Do You Mean?

What do you mean when you say there's no heaven?
What do you mean when you whisper there's no hope?
I've been wasting my time counting the stars
-- that fall from your eyes.
Can't you close them now? Close the flood gates,
silver streams, dusty with salt and diamonds.
-- I feel each drop break wide open.

What do you mean to do with those bottles of cheap perfume?
What do you mean to do with those broken promises?
-- and what ifs, stood me ups and never aggaain.
Will you remember the hands that held yours?
Will you remember the half-sweet gestures?

I remember. I remember those things.
I recall. I recall the blame laid upon me.
