Apart
Sometimes when trying to protect
Someone else from getting hurt
Something’s got to give, usually your heart
For the best you toughen up
For their own good you bite your lip
For love you let them go
Though on the inside
The pain never subsides
This is what it is about, pushing that aside
Being stronger
Being tougher
Being hurt
Overcoming that affliction
Manning that station
Seeking that revolution
Which comes with suffering
When back you are glancing
With eyes searching
Maybe you will see I did it all for you
Maybe you will understand in adoration
I left you
Maybe you will wake one day
And notice what it was I wanted to say:
I love you too much to stay…
You belong with her
You will be better with her
You stay with her
Because she doesn’t fight
Believe in what is right
Before you leave her sight
Remember what I am saying
Reminding you that living
Right next to me is suffocating
I see the way her eyes gleam
I watch the way her body brightens
I adore the way her smile shines
Whenever she is by you
Still I study your face
Still I search your hand
Still I must remind myself
You should not be mine
What can I give you but tequila and lime?
To tranquilize the pain
That I bring upon your soul
We argue
We yell
We disagree
The list continues but I think we agree
That those are the reasons why
You and I should never be
But then why do my lips
Crave your kiss?
Why does my hand not fit
Within anyone’s but your’s?
Why do I dream
That you lie next to me?
This is something I must get over
I am not your lover
She is
I am his
Anyone’s but yours
So that you can live
Free from our mess
Our deadly caress
Lust quickly addresses
That we must learn our lesson:
Apart we must remainSometimes when trying to protect
