Conflict is not a resolution
Say it one more time
What do you hope to gain
By making others feel pain

My eyes don’t recognize you any more
My heart no longer flutters
And so, you’ve become a stranger
How much more will these feelings linger

Is ignorance better than acceptance
Who would be who?
I tried walking the line
But you were never meant to be mine

To be your friend is to stab myself
The closer I am the more I’ll burn
I hope this doesn’t leave you upset
Just know I’m still glad we met

Maybe someday it will all work out
I’ll buy you that house with the white picket fence
Though today is a day of loss
Today is the day our paths no longer cross
