“Separation Anxiety”

Dear Lover

What a pretty picture we painted

When pictures were taken

If I’m not mistaken

I called it love

Yet

With every lie I uncovered my trust had been shaken

Promised myself not to leave you forsaken

Was I in love or just foolish

My heart we kept breaking

I’m man enough to accept my share

Did you even care?

Sometimes it seemed like you just weren’t there

So, I played unaware

Even as we laid awake bare

Skin to skin

Sin to sin

Blinded

Back then I couldn’t see what you lacked within

I started to ask myself

How could two people who are together be so far apart?

When did it start?

Did you see me?

I mean

Did you really see me

see me for me

It took me awhile but I think I finally saw through you

I get it now

It wasn’t me

It was us

So goodbye

Goodbye my love

For it is only after we have done some dying that we can truly be reborn
