It's easier this way -- just you, just me
I can't take the pain, the words you whisper when I am near
I can't take the look in your eyes, the sound of our dreams as they crumple
I can't take the broken promises, the never ending apologizes that never came
I can't take it anymore and I need to end this before tomorrow never comes
If I shut my eyes, today fades and yesterday seems a little brighter
And you -- your everything you once were before words left unspoken, drifted among the wind
And simple memories play through my mind
Your smile,
Your laughter . . .
But now I see it all. . .
I see the words you left unsaid, the hidden tears in your eyes
I see the pain you caused, the anger you never voiced
I see the secrets we kept, the walls we built
I see us falling to pieces
I tried my best
I buried your words, I took your anger
I bit my tongue, I held in my tears
But I can't take this anymore
So I walk away and leave you behind
But I know I'll treasure the moments when you. . .
Smiled and the anger didn't reflect in your eyes
Laughed and the tears didn't slip from mine
Loved and the pain didn't hurt so much
