Before the Crack

I’m so close
yet I can’t stand by your side.
You took my heart,
but I’ll never have yours.

We’ve shared so much time,
too much time,
but never enough time for just us.

I just stand there,
watching,
your faint, fading smile.

So close.
So close.
So close.

Your pale face
I want to touch it.
Your thinning body
I want to hold you.

I know I can’t.
I know I can’t.
And that’s exactly
why I want it more.

The more my feelings grow for you,
the more I want him gone.
Not dead
just gone.

It stays in my head.
It stays in my head.
It stays in my head
and I turn away.

The tears on your tired face
make my heart hit harder.
You’re hurting next to him
and I’m standing right here.

So tell me
why can’t it be me?

You might not be perfect for me.
That’s fine.
I’m probably not perfect for you either.

Every time I see you,
my chest turns cold.

I’m losing my mind.
I’m losing my mind.

Come to me.
Come to me.
Come to me.
