Two lives inseparable since they were just kids
They walked through tender years, her tiny hand in his
Time brings new avenues both want to explore
Her lips said "just tonight" when his heart said more
Virtue traded, innocence degraded
She's created distance in a touch
Childhood laughter hanging from a rafter
What's there after she can't feel as much?
They made their beds there and now they lie where
Lies to each other are lies to themselves
But it's tomorrow that she disavows
With no regard for what it might arouse
To go beyond all a friendship allows and end up nowhere
Alone in a crowd and crowded with emptiness
Anger responds to a love unrequited
It's all he can take to take it all in when his
Wings start to melt in this Icarus winter so
Starting his fall from high expectation
The weight of reality pulling him down while
He tries to deny a now undeniable
Notion that maybe it's time to move on
Try as he may but he won't come to terms with the
Thought of just living one moment without her and
She is now questioning all that she wanted to be
Before he finally opened his heart up
And they have to choose between everything they've ever
Known of and everything they hope to find
Both of them scared that the future they want will mean
Willingly leaving the other behind
Each day reminded by scars where they bled
Sometimes it's better that life goes unsaid
