let's not be halves of each other's hearts
let's each be whole and remind each other of that
and we can be bright and burn together
let's not need each other so desperately
because eventually one of us will decide
that the other is no longer needed
let's not smile and pretend that it's okay
when we both know it's not okay
all i've ever wanted was your honesty
let's not hide what we really want to say
because we already know what the
other one is thinking, anyway
let's not let anyone else come between us
let's ignore what they say and let's just make
the most of this while we can
let's not make our worlds to revolve around ourselves
or have my world revolve around you
or your world revolve around me
let's just be who we are
and let what comes, come
because we can't fate even if we wanted to
let's not be numb or empty
when it's all over, eventually
because i'll always want you to be happy
let's just forget
that i said anything
nevermind, okay?
