I wish I could be what you want me to be
I wish I could will myself to dive in and fall for you
this trecherous heart madly running down dead end roads
two years of this fighting
when it never was all you said it was
and maybe more
Love comes in all sorts of packages
ours just happens to be colored yellow and green
we carelessly wrapped it and tossed it around
the red long ago evaporated
we both wear the letter of shame in this
I wish I was not content to sit here with this
I wish I was better at keeping broken hearts from falling apart
maybe if I could keep mine safely guarded
I would have done the same for you
Maybe I would have done the same for him
I am just sitting here in this mess
It's all I can do, all I know how to do right now
Hoping my strength will return soon
I wish I could have said I just can't
I wanted it all so badly for you
for you and I truly tried
You say I did it all for me
I don't know how to tell you
when there is nothing left
I lost everything for you and I am still losing
you wanted more
I gave you what little I had after all that
and it wasn't enough
I tore a love and a life apart
to try to keep from hurting you
I wish I was better at keeping broken hearts from falling apart
maybe if I could keep mine safely guarded
I would have done the same for you
Maybe I would have done the same for him
It was all for you and I truly tried for you
for you
