we are both broken.

i say it, you can feel it.

i cry and shake myself awake

and you try to hold me but you're shaking too

and we're lying next to each other shattering

watching ourselves break.

i'm awake, you're asleep

we're always a step behind one another.

i'm the moon, waiting for your sun to rise

when you won't even shine enough light for me

you can't even light me up, can't even live right

it's not your fault though.

it's early morning and you're wide awake

watching as i sleep

wondering how you can help me

(but you can't).

it's late at night and i'm wide awake

wondering if death will soothe our pain

(but it won't).

and all of a sudden i realize

that we were destined to fail from the start.

neither of us deserved each other

neither of us deserved love

but we're together right now

and that's a blessing from heaven

so i kiss your cheek

feel you kiss mine

and know that we'll support each other till the end.

because that's what lovers are for.
