It hurts that no matter what – we will always share a past.
One that’s burdened with a pain – that still lingers while it casts.
A doubt as to what happened – how did our love fade by?
When did our concerns dip? – When did we no longer try?
I see you often enough – that your scent still plays a role.
Makes me hate those lonely nights – when the bed feels big and cold.
But the past chases away – all of what we could become.
And no matter what we do – neither of us will succumb.
I will always not be who – you feel destined to be with.
I will always see your views – like a fairy tale or myth.
And it bothers me to think – our child will never grow.
In a home with stable roots – we are always to and fro.
Seeing you with other men – jealousy’s not what I feel.
Part of seeing that makes way – for my shielded heart to heal.
When the times truly get tough – it’s not with him you confide.
No matter how much we fight – you want me right by your side.
And no matter how I feel – I’m always there to console.
Few of those moments saw us – mutually, lose control.
Do away with all the hate – put the vitriol to bed.
Both give in to baser needs – carnal appetites were fed.
And from those times we plummet – thinking things can truly change.
Reaching outward to a goal – that will never be in range.
I both love you and can’t stand – sharing life with you around.
But you’re my baby’s mother – that’s the tie that keeps us bound.
