You kissed me gently
Making me feel like I was your girl
But we were worlds apart
But that night our hearts were in tune
Filling my head with lies like
"Girl your my moon,
My sun my stars; girl,
You're my universe
And as a poet, he rehearsed
These verses in my ears
As though I didn't hear him the first time
As though I hadn't already memorized the first three lines
Subconsciously hoping that these lies became truth
But understanding completely,
That I could never be with you...
We don't live the same lives
And even as poets,
We don't tell the same lies
And honestly,
I don't believe our priorities reside
In the same area
I keep telling you to leave
And you swear that I'm darin ya to stay...
But in the back of your mind, you know,
We'll never work out this way
But you hand continues to lay on my back
As you continue to pretend like I fill what you lack....
When we both know...
Two steps for us,
Is seven steps back...
