I've been there ~
She listens with ears that only hear the pain of lovers past ~
He sees with eyes that are blurred with visions of everyone who went away ~
Love spears your insides ~
It disrupts old memories ~
It stirs them up into toxic mush ~
Until all you see is ALL the people that used to be ~
Not each other ~
The glass is stained with the past ~
Clean it off ~
Clear the smudge ~
Look at the water with clearer eyes ~
Listen to the night with ears that have long since shed an old lovers sin ~
You still can't look at each other ~
But don't let go ~
No one will hold you like she does ~
No one will protect you like his jealous arms ~
You are hers and she is yours ~
And that's all you both should see ~
Listen not to whispers of people who can never be ~
Push aside ~
The pain and pride ~
Listen to each others hearts again ~
Because the beat didn't skip ~
And when you hold his hand ~
And touch her skin ~
You'll realize that a love like yours ~
Can never be apart again ~
For Raine and Jacob
I've been there and lost. And everyday regret whispers in my ear and pulls away my sanity.
