It hurts to look at him Like it hurts to look at old photographs of happy times you'll never get to enjoy Like listening to recordings of a concert you didn't go to Like smelling fresh bread you can't eat It hurts to know I've always been so close In math we learned that parallel lines run next to each other for eternity But they don't touch And maybe my line was never straight forward But it always seemed to bend towards you I guess I just didn't fit in his equation It hurts when I see him smiling But it's not at me Laughter is the best medicine That's what I've heard So maybe that's why this sickness inside me hasn't healed yet How do I tell someone that I love them Especially when they're a bird And you don't want to tie them down Because you love them for their flight There's this saying that says **** two birds with one stone" If I killed him in flight, I would **** my self too

It hurts
It hurts to look at him Like it hurts to look at old photographs of happy times you'll never get to enjoy Like listening to recordings of a concert you didn't go to Like smelling fresh bread you can't eat It hurts to know I've always been so close In math we learned that parallel lines run next to each other for eternity But they don't touch And maybe my line was never straight forward But it always seemed to bend towards you I guess I just didn't fit in his equation It hurts when I see him smiling But it's not at me Laughter is the best medicine That's what I've heard So maybe that's why this sickness inside me hasn't healed yet How do I tell someone that I love them Especially when they're a bird And you don't want to tie them down Because you love them for their flight There's this saying that says **** two birds with one stone" If I killed him in flight, I would **** my self too
I'm trying to let go
