Between the two of us
Is where our feelings remain 
I don't know why he is making a fuss
My respect he will not gain

Not as long as the subject is about the skin
It's about the feelings between us two
No matter what way I look at it I cant win
I'd probably be disowned if he ever knew

But at this point I don't care
I cant ignore this feeling
We have this magic we share 
It all has a meaning 

So why cant he understand 
Why cant he see past the color
It's that I don't want to be with no other man
Explain? Why do I bother

Forbidden love between two
Why can't he let things be 
These feelings I wish he knew
The magic we hold I wish he could see

Between the two
We care for each other
I'll never feel the way you always do
No matter what he and I will always be together

But no he's stubborn to try
These feelings the two of us share 
I'm so upset I can cry
About the skin I wish he wouldn't care

These feelings kept to myself
All building up I feel like I could die 
I keep this book on the shelf
It's because I freely cant wear these feelings on my shirt
It's not fair
This negativity is making me hurt
The way I feel he doesn't care

The way I feel means nothing to him 
He has nothing positive to say
To him this love he doesn't believes in 
For God to change his mind I pray

Each and every night 
I just want him to look into his heart
And hopefully look past the sight
