could you not see.....

could you not see
what love had done to me
could you not see
for us i had to flee
could you not see
i had to set you free


can now you see
and forgive me

the game...

we both knew the game
it wasn’t gonna be tame

we both knew the rules
we weren’t no fools

but when the game did end
with what could we defend

both our hearts   
our weakest parts
 

lay broken and blue
in a blood-filled pool

but we both knew the rules

would you like to hear  these words spoken?

we both knew...

we both knew there’d be a day
when i would go away
that i could never stay
i’d have to go my way
the sun held at bay
and night would come to stay
the stars no longer shine
and cry you are no longer mine
since i went away

but my love with you stays

always

.

.

would you like to hear the words spoken?

LOVE RELINQUISHED...

You couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel.
If we act any other way
I'll be making you act against what I love in you most.
And I can't go back to that way of thinking.
Don't you see?
I can't love you unless
I give you up.
