When I Look at You

When I look at you,
I think of all the things that were.
The fighting, the tears, everything and her.

When you look at me,
You`think of all the things that could have been.
The triumphs, the tragedies and everything in between.

When I look at you,
I wish that I had been enough.
Then maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't have been so tough.

When you look at me,
You wish that you hadn't gone there.
And maybe, just maybe, you know it wasn't fair.

When I look at you,
I want to forgive and forget.
But you know what? It's your fault. You live with the regret.

When you look a me,
You want this all to be done.
But you know what? You did this. You're why we came undone.

When I look at you,
I see the hell I went through.
So, tell me one good reason I should be here for you.

When you look at me,
You see the love we shared.
So, tell me one small thing to show you ever cared.

See? That's right, you can't.
Because this isn't a fairy tale.
You idiot. This is life.
And 'true love' won't prevail.
