We can build something beautiful
But it's temporary,
Ultimately it doesn't measure up
Oh I've looked at you for long enough
To know that I see you
I see your emotions
The pain,
The love and
The anxiety.
I see you without a disguise
I see the skeleton laid beneath your skin
The cut and scars
The battles you have faced
And the wars that you've won
Its my gift and curse
To see others
In a way that others may not see so clearly.
So I'll stop
I'll stop searching for me in your eyes
I'll become a stranger
Once more
I'll add a new scar in the center of my heart
But I'm running out of space
To add the stitches
And I don't mind
I'd rather feel
Than feel nothing at all
