Our time has passed. We both know it, but we're clinging on to hope that things won't turn out between us like it did our parents. I don't want to be angry, I don't want to go to war, but I don't know ******* these feelings that spring up when you're with her.

We've got a little girl, sometimes I wish you cared more about her. I wish you cared enough about me, to give her the love she needs.

But that's why we are here. That and the fear of doing it all on our own. You think you can hide from me? It's her you adore.  I can feel it in your fingertips, I can taste it on your lips.

You're fooling yourself maybe, isn't it good enough that we can share a baby?
I don't want your scraps, your attachment when, your love lives fresh with someone new.

I touch you, but I don't feel you like I used to. I don't feel you like I could if there was any love between me and you.

Why couldn't you leave well enough alone? You've taken so much out of me, can't we just move on so we can get along ?
Living with you never played out how I wanted. Loving you has left a sick feeling in my stomach.

Please free me from these shackles. I don't want to be drawn back. This bond has to be completely severed. So I can live with you, as you're loving her.
