we became one
i gave you my heart
you lie next to me
yet we're miles apart
you smile at me all while kissing my cheek
but when the city is asleep you feel oh so weak
i watch as your mouth moves and
you speak while you're walking
but when the clock hits 12
your tears do the talking
you laugh oh so loud
you drown out the sound
of the pills that shake
so you can't tell it's fake
i love you
i love you
goddammit i love you
but i can't love you all
until you willingly fall
because my hands are out
and i'm standing about
but they're starting to ache
and my legs begin to shake
and i'm about to break
and it's all for your sake
and i won't stay awake
unless you
give me
your
all.
