One of the hardest things in life is understanding the mind of another human being
When the words they're expressing are so different from the actions that you're seeing

What can start off so sweet and innocent can change over night
And after all the wrong you wonder if you'll ever get it right

Is it you or is it him? When is it time to take the fault?
You're back and forth between the lies, tears and the assault

You feel like you constantly give, and all they ever do is take
You can't help but to feel like this was all a big mistake

Maybe your expectations are too high, so you always compromise
Even though you're the one who's exhausted with rivers flowing from your eyes

After so long with no progress, maybe you're the one to blame
You'd do anything that they ask of you to have their heart in exchange

You'd cross a thousand oceans, and climb mountains that exceed the sky
For someone who would leave you weeping until there's nomore tears to dry  

But is it really that easy to just simply walk away?
Are you holding on while in denial, making excuses just to stay?

What if the grass really isn't greener on the other side?
Because of that fear you pretend to be satisfied, and set aside your pride

You never knew it would be so hard to know the difference between love and lust
Where ever it is that we may stand, I never wanted this for us

That's what you tell him all the time, you thought you knew him well
You've learned that love isn't easy, but you never asked for a fairy tale

A simple bond is all you wanted, though sometimes life gets in the way
Bad days and heart ache are expected, but they won't **** you, you'll be okay

But it's gotten way past that, to the point of no return
And you can't just give it all away, respect and trust they have to earn

Maybe this will go on for a lifetime, or maybe one day you'll choose to go
If his mouth still pours words of this missing love, but through his heart it doesn't show

No matter what your decision, your spirit is strong, and I pray you'll be okay
And through trials and tribulations, winters and storms, I hope you find your way

Maybe one day we'll grasp the power of love, and we all will understand

For our existence alone came from his rib by God's own precious hand
