She'd never admit it out loud
But all she truly wanted
For someone to look at all her power and strength
And see how terribly fragile she was

What a paradox
When an old lover
Meets the life that continued after it left

You sat in front of me
As we discussed what happened after we gave up on each other
And all the things that you would've been the first to know
I now keep to myself

I want to write
In a million ways
All the beauty in your soul
How it's you I desperately crave
But when I sit to write the words
My mind goes blank
My tongue gets twisted
My heart starts to cramp

Look at how much power you have over me
Just thinking about your voice
And I'm crippled on the ground
Unable to do the one thing I do best

It doesn't matter
When I met you
I knew it was gonna last forever
Whether it was mutual
Or not

I was fire
And you were the house
I burned in you
Till we were doused out
So now we're just ashes
Some new girl will try to blow away
But no one could forget
How brilliantly we blazed

Which is worse:
Discovering you were lied to,
Or finding out the truth?

They kept asking
What I would do
If I ran into you

But it's the thought  
Of never seeing you again
That keeps me up at night
