Our very Own thing
From where I'm standing you treated me wrong
And I stood by watching it for far too long
You were uncertain, I felt like I don't belong
Oh, how I wish I could write a different song
Honestly this time though it may as well be a different story
Yet I cannot seem to find this needed glory
Although I still feel like I could never repay
So I'm just wondering about it here another day
Wishing you haven't simply walked out and gone away
I don't wanna proceed on this path that's leading me astray
What is it that you're gaining now that I'm not around
Why is that my knees feel the need to touch the ground
If you'd only knew what you are to me
If there was a way I could make you see
That actually I do not only truly do agree
Instead my love I'm this close to setting you free
Time, that I would very much like to borrow
So could you please come by tomorrow?
Now while you are causing all this pain
I still find myself incapable to complain
Cause it seems nothing gets rid of this stain
When you are slowly creeping through my brain
I may have changed my perspective but not my view
Cause a bullet seems well worth taking for you
Just come over and let me look at your face
Instead of pretending there is a thing like useful space
Cause I can't even begin to try to replace
When all I long for is your invaluable embrace
If only I could come up with the right word
Instead of knowing that I sound so absurd
To my own surprise I'm still happy most of the time
During the day everthing seems almost perfectly fine
Then I come home and design this little rhyme
That makes me feel like committing a serious crime
Let's take our commitment past this year
Instead of drowning in our very own created fear
Did you know I love to watch you sing?
Makes me feel reborn like a tree in spring
For I do not care what it is you bring
As long as I can call it our very own thing
This world I can't seem to apprehend
Without my angel, in other words my friend
And now it's just this time of the year
That makes it hard for me not to shed a tear
Til' this day I end my messages with the word sincere
Cause in my heart I'll always keep you near
I am who you will have always got
All this is just in case that you forgot
