If you could see me now You'd recognize me In a heartbeat You'd recognize this act As a façade A way of hiding the scar That never truly healed Despite the years And all the changes The events that Changed our lives For better or worse All peel back Bit by bit Turning me into that Naive innocent kid Once more All those defences I've put up All come crumbling down Bit by bit Piece by piece In front of you They amount to nothing No ungodly force Capable of stopping you Stopping what you represent That image forever ingrained In my heart and mind The culmination of love Pain, joy, commitment And all those emotions That make the foundation Of a relationship One we never had One we never will Yet the standard I use When it comes to others You Someone I never had Have set the bar For all that I shall have In the future So far not one Has met that standard Maybe it's just me Or the standard you set Is much too high All I know Is that it's lonely Up here Drinking alone In this bar So high off the ground Won't you join me One last time?
