LET IT BE FOR LOVE
I don't know why we keep doing this
after all the tears and all the years running headlong at each other knowing full well
our toxic combination will only bring only sorrow
Stumbling blood drunk and blind time after time self destructive obsessive fools
We bash each other with our hearts and drown each other in guilt and passion
and yet no one can hurt us quite as deeply as we can ourselves
we know every soft tender pulse and just how hard to push for that inevitable searing soaring pain
The pleasures now are not a fair trade for a tear soaked bed or months self castigation
the rising tide of passion is no longer joyful and good memories no longer outwiegh the bad
and so now before the last of whatever love is left is lost, turns bitter
my love this must be our ending now ,for ever ... for both of us
This time as we walk away ...for all we were
Let it be for the last time ... for love
