The way you lived
Everyday
Living in fear
Of somebody seeing you loving me
Cause that alley had eyes hidden in the bricks
That parking lot had lights hitting our lips
And you were hushing me
We were always walking on a tightrope that was too many years old
I wonder where you went too when you wouldn’t show up for the 5 minutes you were supposed to
The way you lived
Everyday
Living in fear
Of somebody seeing you loving me
Cause people were noticing me love you
That school had monstrous eyes
That window of your truck had my breath melting the ice
It had the smell of me, my missing earring
The way I lived
Everyday
Living In fear that no one would see me love you
Cause I was the most prized secret
Perfectly kept on tight sealed lips
Losing myself in you
I still remember the weight of you
I still remember the first taste of you
And I remember your stories of the boy you once were and I remember wishing I was born in the 70’s just so I had a chance to be chosen by you
The way I lived
Everyday
Living In fear that no one would see me love you
Everyday for me was like a 10 mile race
I tried with everything I had to be the woman in your frame
But I sunk down deep and lost the game
There I was chasing you like you owed me
Cause I never accepted the fact that you were bad for me
The way you lived
Everyday
Living in fear that somebody would see you loving me
Cause I thought you wanted longevity and I was overtaken by our chemistry
I had dreams about the silly things like your jeans and the way you would smirk at me
I bet you dreamt about mornings with me
But all we ever had was foggy evenings
I had a feeling you were going to make me blue
With your name on me, a blue tattoo
Instead the colors of me are a pinwheel of hues
The way I lived
Everyday
Living In fear that no one would know I love you
But I tell myself that art is meant for periods of time
You made me into a heaven and you made me into a hell
Tell me how do you get the sun to set on you
All I ever have is the moon
And I know that time will pass over and over but I am stained with you
all over my body you lay
After the 8 hour school days of staring at you I can’t unsee you
And I know I was never good at accepting
But you accepted that I was a broken young
And you chose to make me anew
Did it **** you too?
Tell me did it enlighten you?
Did the first time for me overtake you?
Every day
I was there
You were there
Every day
I was there..
The way you lived
Everyday
Living In fear
Of someone finding out you love me..
I’ll never relate too..
