you and me

Haven’t you been happy with me
Doesn’t your heart feel the truth inside
Don’t you want this real thing to last
But there’s that lie you’re trying to hide

I know that you’ve had trouble giving it up
And there’s so much there, it gives you relief
But it’s fake happiness and it drags you in,
It’s hatred and bitterness, it’s hard to defeat.

I can see the look in your eyes,
I don’t want this to take every piece of you
It already has done too much,
It’s the strength between us that is true.

I know you feel it’s nothing to fear
That it affects you, but yet it’s just one,
You say that one more, it can’t hurt,
But I can see through, I know you want to run.

It’s not easy to live with the pain you feel,
The love I give to you, this is the way
It’s the way I show you that I care
I know it’s right, it’s all I can say.

Can’t you see you’ll fall apart
I care too much to let it go
It affects me as well as you
There’s so much more I want you to know

This is just the beginning of making this new
Of making it different, it’s the way it should be
Can’t you see it’s not what you need
What’s so much better, is you and me.
