Lovers or Friends

# You have brought back these feelings Resurfaced those fears Of the fire inside that had so many tears A weak flame that was dying Alive once again Has now muddied the line between lover and friend That's how it goes for me I don't know about you The words passing might be in that moment were true They kept traveling on Possibly a comet As my feelings grow strong Expectations not met Once again feel a fool Even though it's not true And my heart gave to you Time again I will do But this time not the same It's because you weren't here Could not reach out and touch So our bodies weren't shared Just the words that were said And the sound of your voice Resurrect from the dead Could not stop; Had no choice Seems like that's how it is In your lasso I'm snared All it takes is one tug And again I will care Pilot light to a stove A slight twist and it strikes You've invaded my heart Bursting flame will ignite But if carelessly handled It's me who gets burned Walked all over and trampled Same dolt who won't learn I have built up the walls But we're both trapped inside The tight space is so small There's nowhere I can hide Face-to-face with you now It begins and it ends I'll get through it somehow Are we lovers or friends? #
