Should i smile now, will you join me in it. Should I cry, will you try wiping them off, my tears. Will you succeed in drying the river from my soul through my eyes.
People said, we look great as a couple, I couldn't as much as tell them, those smiles, are the make up I wear to face the world. They should always see us as a perfect match, not what we truly are!
They said, "you shouldn't be jealous in your relationship", I shouldn't be? I don't get to see you smile wide the way you do outside, with me. I don't get to make you laugh hard no matter how hard I try.
You said I wasn't in a competition, I was all yours,, it's clear now, I obviously am in one, with what I don't know. I don't get to do things to please you. What should I do?
You said, "get better", the better I try getting, the farther you tell me I a from being the mark. What should I do to gain your heart again? I keep doing the things I did at first, tried studying you as a book, I keep failing.
I'm too afraid to pull out, lot of eyes are already on us. I guess I'm living my life for them now! Too many are already waving 'em flags at us. We almost are at the altar, it's hard to say no now, it looks hard to turn back.
Does it mean I no longer mean anything to you? You keep telling me, you love me, I know it's different now, you say it as a cliche. There's just a sense of duty everytime you recite the words.
I don't want to endure life. I don't want to be bottled, I want to run in the field chasing butterflies, want to sit by the beach in the evening, roasting hares in low light. I want to always be strengthened when I remember your smile.
I guess, that's too late now, I'll just say goodbye. Don't care what anyone thinks. I better save us the stress of making the mistakes of ending up together. It's hard, I hope you understand?
Good night Lover. See you again STRANGER.
