With You


You and I

Don't make sense

The damage

Feels permanent

But we fall together

And you've made more then a dent

On this heart

You don't have to promise me

Another forever

I don't need excuses

Don't hold yourself to it

But tell me

If I wasn't there

Would you miss

Like I miss you

 

Another night

We fight

You walk out

Door slammed

I feel the glass floor we walk on

Shake and crack

We're one breath away

From falling apart

But then why

Do you have a hold on this heart

Why do I cry

Whenever you aren't here

 

I remember

Back then

Back when

I didn't even like you

I remember how at odds 

We were

Face to face

Fists up

You knew

How to break me

And I could cut you

With words

Straight to the bone

But I know how you feel now

And I hate to be alone

Somehow

Can we make it

 

You look at me

As if you've never wanted

Anything more

I feel it

The need

It races through you

To me

You leave

I feel you

Long after the warmth fades

Whether we make it

Stay together

Make it to forever

I can't say

But I do know

I wouldn't want us any other way

I want to fight

But only with you

I want to spend every night

With you

I want everything

But only

If it's with you
