we don't belong

breathing so deep,
screaming so loud,
trying to keep you,
from being so proud.

crying so long,
bleeding inside,
you don't belong,
here by my side.

you say you love me,
but i know it's not true,
i want you to see,
that i love you too.

but it's too late,
we've waited too long,
we've made too many mistakes,
now i know we dont belong.

you will always be here,
right in my heart,
so please don't fear,
us being apart.
