This is going to hurt to walk away from,
I can already feel the fraying edges,
This is going to tear me down the middle,
Losing myself is this short little session,
When you walk away back to your life,
I'll be thinking about this moment again,
When you leave to embrace everything you left,
I'll be watching wishing it was me you missed,
This night is going to kill me,
Because I know now what it is,
This feeling is going to knock me to my knees,
Because I got too deep too fast with you,
Something temporary I told myself,
Don't get attached they all told me,
Something temporary I chide myself,
And still I keep my eyes on you.
You've been missed by your world at home,
I've been reminded of my responsibilities,
You've been missing everything I've never seen,
I've been trying to build brick houses from sand,
You need to distance yourself I've heard today,
Before you get hurt, I know, I know,
You need to let go right now, tonight,
Before you choke and finish last in this race,
And if I let you go and walk away,
It won't be you who'll forget to breathe,
And if I stay and try to hold on,
It won't be me who severs ties forever for us,
I'm not saying that I'm in love with you tonight,
I'm saying that I'm in too deep to just let go,
I'm not saying that it's your job to be with me,
I'm just saying that It already hurts,
When the time finally does come,
I'm not sure how I'll look you in the eyes,
When I turn my back for the last time,
I'm not sure how I'll get myself home,
I've lost count now of the nights with you,
Where I would just lay and feel you with me,
I've lost count of the moments beside you,
Where I wanted nothing more but that second,
I'll never tell you all this,
All these feelings and heart ache,
I'll never let you even guess,
All you'll ever see are level eyes and a smile,
Then a kiss on the cheek,
For goodbye I guess.
