I should have known the moment
our eyes didn't meet
wide shut, elsewhere
all here, not all there
I should have seen it, my heart said "hush"
love is blind and I didn't mind
I knew it and needed it
I gave it with heart
I made it like art
myself in every part, a painter's brush
repeated: give and take
your promise to break
three words: it takes two
easier to say than do
when we made it was it true?
was it me behind those eyes squeezed tight
on your lips and in your thought?
and did -we- mean me and you?
or was it my give, make, heart and soul
battle scars, the war -I- fought?
separation didn't do me in
we were miles apart from the start
if I said I've been crying
then I must have been lying
there's been nothing inside me to gush
I heard your music loud and clear
but you rewrote all the notes
the once beautiful strains
only broadened my pains
realization caused my heart to crush
new score: my give, your take
no promises to break, or make
three words: I love you
easier to say than do.
