I've been there ~ She listens with ears that only hear the pain of lovers past ~ He sees with eyes that are blurred with visions of everyone who went away ~ Love spears your insides ~ It disrupts old memories ~ It stirs them up into toxic mush ~ Until all you see is ALL the people that used to be ~ Not each other ~ The glass is stained with the past ~ Clean it off ~ Clear the smudge ~ Look at the water with clearer eyes ~ Listen to the night with ears that have long since shed an old lovers sin ~ You still can't look at each other ~ But don't let go ~ No one will hold you like she does ~ No one will protect you like his jealous arms ~
You are hers and she is yours ~ And that's all you both should see ~ Listen not to whispers of people who can never be ~
Push aside ~ The pain and pride ~
Listen to each others hearts again ~ Because the beat didn't skip ~ And when you hold his hand ~ And touch her skin ~
You'll realize that a love like yours ~ Can never be apart again ~
For Raine and Jacob I've been there and lost. And everyday regret whispers in my ear and pulls away my sanity.
