How We Love

To clear my own name
Where to begin?
Except that I’m sorry
Once again
Cause I have been wrong
So many times
And I’m just beginning
To unwind
But you have been strong
Steady and kind
With no room for sorrow
True and kind
Take comfort in these
Small little deeds
It’s just the beginning
Not the end
How we love
We don’t turn away
When it’s hard
Or shift all the blame
Then I try to consider
These things
From your point of view
I pretend
Like there’s nothing to say
Like a game
But you don’t look away
Then I break
Til everything’s bare
And you stand by me
So how does it feel
When something gets real
True to the matter
We reveal
Like two of a kind
Like water to wine
And hope for the morrow
Please be here
Just let me grow old
With my favorite soul
And wait for tomorrow
To unfold
Here’s the good bit for you now
When our walls come crashing down
We are left without our stories
It’s how we love
We don’t turn away
When it’s hard
Or shift all the blame
Then I try
To consider
These things
From your point of view
I pretend
Like that there’s nothing to say
Like a game
But you don’t look away
Then I break
Til everything’s bare
And you stand by me
