The right thing to do is walk away from you
But  the right thing is hard
I'm not complaining
I'm just saying I don't like doing this
I know you used to like me
Find me before I could go find you
These days we barely speak
I don't know when or why this started
I just know the here and now
And the way we used to be

We would talk for a long time
I watched as you grew happier to see me
Days and weeks became months
Eventually they turned into two years and then a decade
I think back and I can't quite pick out
When I began thinking more about you than normal
Have I always thought this much of you
Have you always been my best friend 
It all seems like a blur
Looking back on how we used to be

The wrong thing to do is fall for you
To let you become my world
I always stay on the line
I don't stray
I follow rules
But you're out of bounds for me
I don't want to throw away everything
All that's important to me
Just to try you out
Maybe even watch us go down in a blaze of glory

I keep my thoughts and feelings to myself
I give up on anything with you
Because it's the right thing to do
I want to do the right thing
I hang up my heart and wish things would go back
Back to how they were
Even if only to talk to you again like I used to
As sad as it is I miss your company
Your voice
And your mind.
