The air gets harder to breathe when we are in the same room
The light is so much brighter on your face than mine
Why is gravity pulling us together
This world has not been kind to your heart or mine
Why should it be now

I have to stop trusting myself
I cannot keeping hiding behind these eyes
As each one of my friends like a flower slowly dies
I lift mine eyes unto sunny skies
And say a prayer that I don't know will ever be heard
Maybe a little bird will carry my cry up to heaven

Or maybe I speak to deaf ears all around me
I try to get your attention but you see right through me
Its like I don't exist or am in a whole other dimension
I am suspended from the sky
By an invisible wire
But it keeps pulling taught
Slowly lifting me higher

Away from where I want to be
And the people I choose to love
Bringing me to my other life
The one I hide above
Before I could only watch and wonder
What is was like to be one of you
I was forever and outsider

But now I am far to close
To so many hearts
If I ever left the circle would simply fall apart
I am the cornerstone and the capstone in one
The foundation set oh so carefully
I couldn't let you crumble when you depend on my
I can hurt anyone else this is my second chance

This is a burden I choose to bare
On a broken back and bent shoulders
My knees are weak and my arms are limp
And if I move I know you will slip
But I need to nourish my broken body
But how can I the rules or body I cannot bend
But it doesn't matter I am only here to mend
The broken hearts and the jagged wounds

It is not my place in this puzzle
I must find my own in this world
This is not my home but that is so easy to forget
Just remember this war is not over yet
I am still betting I cast my lots on you
No matter what happens I am going to see this through

I don't care how far I must go to protect you
Even to the ends of the earth and back again
I don't care if these frail bones shatter
Nothing I do matters
It is all about you the apple of my eye
Its all about you but can I teach you how to fly
