I’m half tempted to say, "To hell with it!"
When your pride swells, mine too says "I’m better than this."
But I remember when we first met
Two scared shitless kids without direction or means
Clinging to the other in hopes to paint the other true
And all the while all we did was paint the other blue
How come when it means everything we walk away
How can we not see that sometimes love is not lost in the pain
The pain of losing, recovering, then reconstructing of faith
By any means necessary, even if it means on your own
Find what you once had and have since wanted
This is as honest as I guess it ever gets
This is when we both see if what we make the other into exists
But I remember the time we first kissed
I hardly had the nerve to push my lips into yours
And since, have hardly had the nerve not to
This is as honest as I guess it ever gets
The wait to see if the nerves will ever shake again
How come when it means everything we remain closed
How can we not see that sometimes love leaves reasons unknown
To whether the losing, recovering, and reconstructing of faith helps us grow
By any means necessary, even if it means on separate roads
What you once had and have since wanted only you know
But if it means anything
Anything at all
To you, I am alone
Profound and of stone
My heart is steadfast
To you, I am alone
I’m half tempted to say, "To hell with it!"
But then I remember the first time we kissed
And how I nearly let my nerves get the best of me
So if this means anything
Anything at all
To you, I am alone
