I trace the holes in my red umbrella
It will do no good to protect me
From the driving winter rains to come
I look at you speechless
You just shrug and walk away

I am aware of my absurdity
I ask you how many oranges
It would take to reach the moon
You just laugh and say you love me

But I know my intention is for shit
You are miles and years away from me
And no matter how hard I try
I cannot close the gap between us

You preferred to yell over the caverns
And listen to the echo's anyways
You liked the fantasy
I wanted to bring you into the real world
To stay with me

You refuse to walk under my red umbrella
You want nothing to do with my imperfections
In your mind I was a wide eyed innocent
In reality I am far from pure

Your sooty hands will never ruin my dress
Your fear of making me more the pauper
Is pathetic but I bow out
Taking with me my prized umbrella
Holes and all into the rain
