You're not in love, you're just lonely And it's not enough to keep me hoping You walk away when you feel me decay Your distance is my safest place I'm sick of empty conversations Resignation from love we held so dear Now I look at you in the eyes and realize I held you back for nearly seven years I watched your light fade so I pulled back I couldn't stand to see you put on a brave face I know I gave this up, I couldn't bite my tongue And lock myself in this empty cage You said you'd love me through the pain But you feared the pills would make me change I'm haunted how your words have stayed And I'm afraid I'll never find someone willing to love My deteriorating mental state without making me feel guilty I couldn't give my all but I gave what I could and it was never enough We danced with glass stuck in our heels and I hoped for better days We slept in different beds talking to other lovers In words we once abstained Split these thoughts in ricochet I always said if you traded Amazing grace for saving face Then I promised that I'd say my prayers someday You're not in love, you're just lonely And it's not enough to keep me hoping You walk away when you feel me decay Your distance is my safest, distance is my safest place Safest place Safest place
