Another Way to Be in Love

You tell me that you’ve lost yourself to be with me
That I am not the woman that I seemed to be
Your life becomes the burden of the love you’ve known
The more you’ve shared yourself the more you are alone
Well shine your brightest light on our pathology
Specifically the portion that applies to me
Help me find my way to all that I might do
To quantify my need and make it up to you
Seven times who you are
Twenty times what you say
Once you’ve made it this far
Just leave the best unsaid and go ahead
Find another way to be in love
So I’m the fool who took your words as poetry
Made love between the verses of what we could be
I navigate for meaning in your drunken prayer
The same time I correct for how you seemed to care
Seven times who you are
Twenty times what you say
Once you’ve made it this far
Just leave the best unsaid and go ahead
Find another way to be in love
If there is hope it is this
The very love you resist
Is looking on you as this August sky
And I will stay just in case You choose to forfeit the race
And turn around to find a reason why
Seven times who you are
Twenty times what you say
Once you’ve made it this far
Just leave the best unsaid and go ahead
Find another way
A better way
There is a way to be in love
I’ll be in love
