Sherlock (Original Song)

Lyrics:

Unreadable, yet overly eager to prove your knowledge
Impossible to impress or to embrace
Incapable of showing emotion if it means that you'll be questioned
'Cause we're both aware you'll always need your space

The violin spoke for you
I was the one who knew you by it
Slowly, the longing grew
And I realized how mistaken I'd been

You'd tell me not to call you a hero
You cast off your frock of indifference
The world must have meant something to you
Despite its alleged offenses
You'd say, "It's a front."
You'd say, "I'm a fraud."
Your sole motivation:
Maintaining the calm
Through your desperate efforts
Not to be forgotten

Untouchable: Your hunger to always be searching
I found you, and I thought I was satisfied
But, here we are--you're rubbing off, rubbing the wrong way
The curtain's frayed; the fabric won't fall the same

The violin told me the truth:
That you were familiar with loss and with loneliness
How could I expect anything less
Than your automatic mode of defense?

Tell me not to call you a hero
Cast off your frock of indifference
The world must have meant something to you
Despite its alleged offenses
You'd say, "It's a front."
You'd say, "I'm a fraud."
Your sole motivation:
Maintaining the calm
Through your desperate efforts
Not to be forgotten

I was your only friend
Don't leave me doubting
Don't let me think
That you never gave a shit
We both know you always
Felt cleverer for it
But, you wouldn't let it win:
The pride you let guide you
Through every incident
Hands to your face
Evading expression of
Sentiment

You'd tell me not to call you a hero
You cast off your frock of indifference
The world must have meant something to you
Despite its alleged offenses
You'd say, "It's a front."
You'd say, "I'm a fraud." (I was your only friend)
Your sole motivation:
Maintaining the calm
Through your desperate efforts
Not to be forgotten (I couldn't forget you)

I won't forget you
