This Bed
We lay miles apart across this California King
My eyes locked on yours, I wonder, do u feel a thing?
My heart beats at a rapid pace, my breathing's uncontrolled
I'm trying hard to hate you, but I just can't, truth be told
I don't know how it started, how it ever got this bad
How we were so happy only to become so sad
It crossed my mind to move, to run, to put u in the past
But I promised to love u, I promised it would last
Those bitter words we screamed tonight still echo in my head
And all I know for sure is that I will not leave this bed
The space between us here upon this California King
Grows larger in this silence and becomes so threatening
Wondering which one of us will be the first to break
And how much more of this that either one of us can take
Cause I guess I made u angry, I guess you got me back
I guess that we declared a war and launched a full attack
Then we settled in together, so unsure of what to do
You stare at the ceiling and I just stare at you
Hoping that you didn't mean the ugly things you said
And all I know for sure is that I will not leave this bed
The distance makes it lonely on this California King
And I hold on so tightly to the love thats lingering
It’s the absense of your smile that really breaks my heart tonight
I’m wondering how the wrongs we did could ever have felt right
Cause it hurts to be so close to you, to look but not to touch
It hurts to be so far from you, it all just hurts so much
I don't know just where I start to keep us from the end
Afraid the words might not come out the way that I intend
And actions, they speak louder, lately we have both misread
And all I know for sure is that I will not leave this bed
I want to fill the void on this California King
Wrap my arms around you, kiss you, end this suffering
I want to cross the great divide that separates us two
Build a bridge over this mess and just be loved by you
It kills me that its like this now, kills me sad and slow
It kills me cause I love you just so much more than you know
The thought of losing you tonight is terrifying me
I have to make a move soon cause I cannot let it be
Just before I get the chance, you turn toward me instead
And all I know for sure is that I will not leave this bed
A sudden spark of hope here on this California King
And I pray that the walls we've built will soon start crumbling
No words are exchanged, we lay here gazing at each other
And I know, without a doubt, I'd never trade you for another
I know it won't be easy, know its going to take some time
Know its an uphill battle, but, I'm ready for the climb
I believe that this is worth a try so I'll keep holding on
Until the day I know for sure the love is truly gone
'Til there's nothing left between us, every emotion has fled
All I know for sure is I will never leave this bed
