The Poet

Somewhere deep down in my heart
There’s a poet, and a liar
They are juxtaposed more than the sun and the moon
Yet they find a way to work together
And with every word that I say, they are writing and conspiring
How the hell can we just make it worse?
Kiss the girl that you love, then you hurt her…
For some reason I can’t seem to shake
Oh, this feeling I get that I’m drifting away from true love.
Oh, if I could rip my heart in two
Then I’d give you the half you deserve
And just always remember I honestly would die for you
'cause I couldn’t live without you
And I tried so hard not to be what I saw growing up
But that only made me into a rabid dog, baring its teeth
Not the man I hoped I’d grow to be
Two steps closer, I’m six steps back
And I bring you down with me…
Oh, it tears me apart, yeah, it honestly does
Just to know that I made it all worse
For some reason I can’t seem to shake
Oh, this feeling I get that I’m drifting away from true love.
Oh, if I could rip my heart in two
Then I’d give you the half you deserve
And just always remember I honestly would die for you
'cause I couldn’t live without you
