one day you'll understand
what you mean to me
and when you do
you'll see

i'll be watching you
in the morning sun
a smile on my face
complex to none

we stay out late
come home early
this isn't life
this is a dream, surely

we stay together
no matter what
because i love you
you keep your mouth shut

we sneak around
as our relationships crumble
but we'll stay together
we'll stay humble

we'll stay out together
hold hands as we walk
stay together forever
that's what we thought

he screams and yells
as you sit back and listen
to every word he says
the glow makes you glisten

he runs and he argues
how everyone knew
but only we did
not the rest of the crew

i can't see him
but i can see you
i want to cry out
i loved you too

you drip with blood
you look like art
this isn't simple
it's a change of heart

if we live we live together
if we jump we jump whenever
if we stay we stay forever
if we stand we stand wherever

you ask what they're doing
even though you know
every word they wrote
about you for tomorrow

you heard every single comment
got them repeating word for word
you're holding on tightly
'cause your perception is blurred

you bow down when they don't listen
shut up when they're presenting
you're the beauty and the beast
yet you also keep 'em guessing

you're the queen and the king
all rolled into one
you're holding onto their hands
and now we're done
