[ WP ] You wear a watch that does not work .

I wear a watch that does n't tick. 
 
 Because with her, seconds and minutes and hours did n't matter 
 
 Because my life was measured in the sunrises we watched together 
 
 In the sparkles in her eyes 
 
 In her laughs and her smiles 
 
 Because time did n't exist in her presence. 
 
 - 
 
 I wear a watch that does n't tick 
 
 Because she woke me up every morning 
 
 Because she led me to bed every night 
 
 And at work 
 
 The clock counted the minutes between us 
 
 Because all that mattered was going back to her 
 
 - 
 
 I wear a watch that does n't tick 
 
 Because life was picture perfect when I slipped the ring on 
 
 Because our happiness was infinite 
 
 Our love was overflowing 
 
 Our future was blinding 
 
 Because we drove off into the sunset like a fairytale 
 
 - 
 
 
 I wear a watch that does n't tick 
 
 Because I drove us home from the bar 
 
 Because her hair was wet with red 
 
 And her bones tore her skin 
 
 And her pain drowned her 
 
 Because that was when my watch stopped ticking 
 
 - 
 
 I wear a watch that does n't tick 
 
 Because in a moment as the sun rose and the world moved on 
 
 A watch stopped 
 
 A heart stopped 
 
 A life stopped 
 
 And it never started again 
 
 - 
 
 I wear a watch that does n't tick 
 
 Because without her, second and minutes and hours drag by 
 
 
 Because the curtains are drawn to hide the sunrise 
 
 I do n't get up 
 
 I do n't sleep 
 
 Because time does n't exist in her absence 
 
 So I wear a watch that does n't tick
