We're light years away

I know that's such a cliche

But there is no other way to say

How far apart we've grown

How now I feel so alone

And we were once as close as two stitches crocheted

But now we can barely look each other in the eye.

 

In our mouthes was a sour taste

I watched you wap a sheet around your waste

I felt my heart falter, I braced

Myself and prepared for the blow

You started acting like a silent crow

And slowly we were but attatched by a paste

So now we can barely look each other in the eye

 

Our bodies are so far away

The depression in the bed where our bodies once lay

Together now seemed like too much space

I wanted and still do

To say those three tarnished words to you

But if I do, the last bend will break

And we will never be able to look each other in the eye

 

From the beginning of our lustful hate we were distant

Treating our relationship as a lent

From reality holding ourselves so we wouldn't wind up bent

And it's true, this was never about sex

It was about three words that could never be said

Every day I have the urge to repent

 

We both had a ridiculous thought

That if our bodies intertwined and brought

What the other person ought

To need that maybe it wouldn't matter

If we could never bring our eyes to meet

I'm left muttering four stained words, "I need to breath"
