you are what it is i see in you

By theBAC

(you just have to see it in yourself)


she wrote: too often i get scared
and i don’t know what to do
i loved you, us, and what we had
i see how sweet you can act
and hear the polished words you say
promising your heart and body
are only for me
but behind my back you give it away
i don’t know what to believe


he wrote: when the colors run from your face
its an everyday displacement
of the energy you have inside
so don’t hide, just abide
these lines i’m about to send
it’ll take time but we’ll be in love again
and forget whether this is
the beginning or the end

she wrote: you are doing it again
playing my weaker side
you know how suave you are
and how easy i give in
but i love you too much
to let you have me
i deserve better and so do you
i deserve a man who promises me the world
and somehow seems to always come through
you deserve a girl like me
one who makes you feel
but you deserve a love based on something real
its almost like you don’t love me
just the idea of being in love
and its something i hope you grow out of
but being your friend i can’t
take advantage of your jaded eyes
to make you the man i want

he wrote: i’d hate to admit that i think you’re right
but lets not give up
not this night
we have a chance to make this last
we have something amazing
and i have a simple question to ask:
will you let me be great for you?

she wrote: i need to go away
i need to take some time
i need to be with myself
but i’ll leave you with this rhyme
its from a song i know you know
‘cause it meant something to me and you
and now it’ll mean something more
so as i close the door
please let me go
this is something i have to do

“the day the rain falls
let it wash away past sins
the day the rain falls
when our new love begins
the day the rain falls
i’ll never dream without some sleep
the day the rain falls
in my heart your love i’ll keep
the day the rain falls
when we return from taking space
the day the rain falls
you’ll look in my eyes
and see your smiling face”
