I don’t know how you do it
You can love somebody
But live without them
You’re strong enough to be alone
But too weak to tell me about
The perfect lover you might lose

The tears you dry are disgusted
Flushed with color
Your cheeks remember
But your heart ignores
The things even it knows are true
About who you can’t resist

You hate how you forgive
You think it makes you weak
He knows why you love him
And that’s why he’s afraid
It’s too hard a life being
The perfect lover you might lose

Nobody can persuade you
It just has to happen
Only you will know
Time is not about when
Everything it knows has passed
It’s up to you now to be missed
