It wasn't supposed to hurt

I kept you on a string
Like a kite,
So far away from me.
Like tides of ocean seas
There was no "you and me".

So it wouldn't hurt.

Two years
Two years I've played this game
But your name on my tongue still sounds the same
My heart an animal I can't quite tame
But I always kept you an arms length away

So it wouldn't hurt.

Because I knew all along you were going away
But when the day came
I knew you'd be getting on that plane
I never really though about the day
That id see you walk away
With tears streamed down my face
A burden I was never meant to take

Because I wasn't supposed to love you
Because it wasn't supposed to hurt
