you said “i feel us starting to grow distant.”
and i shrug and you frown and i think i might start to cry.

we’ve never had a balance.
first i’m head over heels for you and now you won’t leave me alone.

when we first met i didn’t think this would happen at all.
you’re a little older than me and we both have different priorities.

i don’t know if this’ll work out because it feels like you’re millions of miles away.
and even if i ran forever i would never get to where you are.

you have so much potential, no one knows what to expect from me except disappointment.
you seem to expect much more than that.

what do you want? you’re never honest.
what do i want? neither am i.

i don’t know if we’ll ever make it as far as we’re dreaming.
right now you’re mine and i pray that i love you as if i had nothing else to live for.

and i drown myself in all your praises and deny the existence of heartache.
you love me unconditionally and i'm so so scared.

you comfort me, make me smile.
i hate what i'm doing. i make myself cry.

sooner or later we’ll fall apart.
i’ll fall apart.
