A try at song writing.. In my limited experience, song lyrics are better when they're simple, so it's an attempt.

Lament

My lament
Is all but spent
On you
Paint across
A smile that’s lost
For you
All you hide
Toss it aside
For love
Hold me tight
Say it’s right
To love

[chorus]
One kiss, one smile
One dream to defile
Can’t lose it all today
Can’t make you go away
One heart in denial
I’ll make it worth your while
Lay down beside me
Silk sheets and ivory
A chill down your spine
And taste of sweet wine
Breaking your heart
Is only the start


Turn away
You shouldn’t stay
For me
I was wrong
You knew all along
Not me
So devout
You’re not about
To cry
Disavow
And tell me now
Goodbye

[chorus]
One kiss, one smile
One dream to defile
Can’t lose it all today
Can’t make you go away
One heart in denial
I’ll make it worth your while
Lay down beside me
Silk sheets and ivory
A chill down your spine
And taste of sweet wine
Breaking your heart
Is only the start


You hold on to what’s not there
Keeping it close but never aware
Of all that’s missing in between
Imagining everything so serene
Still I want to keep you here
Though my heart is insincere
You are my friend, my only love
All I’m undeserving of

[chorus]
One kiss, one smile
One dream to defile
Can’t lose it all today
Can’t make you go away
One heart in denial
I’ll make it worth your while
Lay down beside me
Silk sheets and ivory
A chill down your spine
And taste of sweet wine
Breaking your heart
Is only the start
