Consequences have a ripple effect
You may take the brunt of the hit
But we all feel it too.
When they want to send you away for years
Shield you and make you better,
It's not just you who doesn't get to see me
It's also me who doesn't get to see you
And I promise, I'm crying just as hard as you
My love.
Holding your pillow in my sleep
Because it smells like you
And holding you in my dreams
Because the consequences hurt me too.

When I think about
How much I miss you
My lungs catch fire

You told me you still loved me
Loved me so much you couldn't handle it,
Yet you make love to other girls in the night
As I sleep alone.
Because I can't even look at another man the same way
That I look at you.
And you tell me that that's not fair?
I will be the one to say what's not fair.
And I say that while you tangle limbs with someone else,
I search for love in someone else too.
But come to find out
I can't have any love without you.
