II (the middle) NOTHING I COULD DO

i looked at you out of focus
staring at the skyline
the sky was orange, the buildings black
it was almost night-time

i looked at you through blurry eyes
staring at distant people
the ground was dark, the asphalt black
you cast a crooked shadow

i wished i could've said something
i wished i could've told you
i wish i could express myself
i knew you felt that way too
