Ballad Of Two Lovers

I woke up this morning and I came to a conclusion.
I think it's time we sat down and talked like we used to,
Express our thoughts just like we ought to.
I've been thinking alot here lately, perhaps a bit too much.
We've been apart of each other for so long,
But I'm starting to think that it's time for us to move on.
We've got to live our lives while we're still young,
We only get one shot.

And you say that we can move on together,
We can ramble and roam just like we want to.
We can run away in the middle of the night just like we used to,
But babe that was when this love was new.
Then you say that I've lost my way, something's on my mind.
You tell me to speak up and let it out,
But I've already thought it through, I've said what I've got to say.
Let me get my things and I'll be on my way.

You follow me through this house,
And keep talking so low that the only thing that can hear you is possibly a mouse.
What do you want for me to do?
Fall to my knees and say there's no one in this world more perfect then you?
Come on babe, you can make it just fine.
I'll be alright too,
In time we'll be no more than memories tainted in each other's past.
There's nothing more that we can do,
Besides look at the truth.

"Well what is the truth?" You finally speak in a voice that I can hear,
Well I'll tell you now that you know somehow you're just not paying attention.
Look inside your heart and you'll probably see that things just aren't what they use to be.
We've both grown up, we both have changed,
Everyone chnages after a while, it's just the way things are.
You'll forget me and I'll forget you when we find someone that we can't stand to lose.

So I get in my car and I drive real far,
I try to deny it but you're on my mind.
But I keep on driving deep into the night,
But you know those moments when you realize you've been running in circles?
Well that happened to me as I looked to my right,
There it was the house that I just left.
And there you are, leaning against your car and wonder how long you've stared at the stars.

There was a sparkle in your eyes that I'd never really seen,
You seemed happier by all means.
I wondered if you were thinking of me,
Then my mind went blank when you smiled at me.
You knew I was there but you didn't seem to care,
I thought it was strange that look on your face but it didn't hit me til you were at the window.
My only thought was "Oh no."
I find myself opening the door and falling to the ground.
"Please let me stick around! I don't want to be alone!" I scream out loud,
You weren't used to seeing me so desperate, I've never even really cried in front of you.
But tonight was different the tears fell down,
I cried and cried like there was no tomorrow.
I cried even though I felt no sorrow.
What was I to do? What was I to say?
My whole emotions changed.

I didn't want to go, but I didn't want to stay.
But you answered my question, you got in the car.
"Just keep on driving baby, don't look back. We're going to leave this town, forget this house. Let's just go."
You help my hand, you had a plan.
It was supposed to be this way all along,
You knew what you were doing you were going to make me miss you.
Well I did, the second I left I wanted to stay,
I guess I just work that way.
