Similes Got The Best Of me

We go together like a clock and a time
Sometimes that time flies
And I'm the clock that can't keep up
Give me a second, maybe a minute

A long way back down the road,
You and I were perfect
Like bees and honey
In this case, you're the bee

You sting sometimes
And I'm too sweet
Too many times I let you get away with it
Give my heart a break, maybe a beat or two

Our memories are in black and white
The good ones, at least
Old, covered in dust
Now those photos have decayed

I wish I could say we'd be alright
I wish I could bring back the late nights
I wish I could take away your fright
I wish I could let you see me shining bright

People come and go,
Seconds last too short,
My heart beats too fast,
You're moving too vast for me

As I look back, I squint my eyes a little
We were perfect, now that I think about it
But now you're become the predator
And I'm the helpless pray

Is using me really worth it?
You drug me in,
Put on your charm,
And made my body spin

Then I look to my right, and there he is,
He looks over at me and smiles,
This is what I've been waiting for,
But yet you're still standing at my door

Don't apologize,
If you would have never been the way you are,
I might not have met him
Your face reveals jealousy, hurt, deceit, guilt.

And honestly?
You tore down the walls I built
Now those walls reveal all my dreams,
He's letting me live them

He lets me branch out
Reach out
Call out
He lets me shine

He's my living sun
My every day of fun
And my
Second to none

Now go on,
Just walk away,
I swear I won't watch,
I've got nothing left to say
