We've been standing apart
For so long
We speak different languages
We see different stars
In the same tainted skies.

We've been so use to the smells
Of the same dusty emotion
Love doesn't feel real
In here anymore
Does it?

I couldn't let you go
Ever,
Not after doing it
Every Sunday
Putting on your uniform
And opening a heavy door
Every other Sunday morning.

It was so hard
I was living through a foolish belief
That love can conquer all
Even a bleeding heart.

Now I rest my head against those faded memories
And almost laugh
Now I am looking back, beyond the past few years
And want them back.

This life is rough,
This world is pounding down on all of us
And grabbing any sweet surrender
On our path
Seems like the only logical act.
Don't you think?

I should have fought with a stronger heart
I should have pushed you through those darker times
And made it better than it was,
So I could rest my head against your shoulder
And laugh out loud
And love out loud
And have these past few years
With you.
