Look into my eyes
See into my soul.
You’ll find love so bright,
It’s worth its weight in gold.
Look inside of your eyes,
Look into your soul,
You find a light gone dim
From a young man turned old.

You painted our sky’s so pure,
Only the warmest purples and pinks.
You grabbed my face and pulled me in,
Kissed me so hard there was nothing left to overthink.
You said our world was only for me and you.
I believe every word of it,
I thought my universe could align too.

I broke my back trying to  fit into your world,
Gazed at only your stars,
Trying to be the perfect girl.
But you left me alone,
As I looked right at you.
We live in two different worlds.
Because I practice what I preach too.
You only learn the right dances,
To hide behind your hidden truths.
As you scream,
You just wanted to feel seen.
It’s your first life too.

I understand wanting to break free.
I’ve had the itch, I’ve scratched it deep.
But im the living proof, you have love,
Without it being just about you.
You haven’t felt a love like this
Since a flower’s first kiss.
A hand for myself, the other for you
I know how to warm the my own soul
Without ever having to take from you.
