Find myself feeling sad
Saying goodbye to you
Ideas I had formed
When I thought I knew
The things we could do
If you remained true
All disappeared
When you threw us away
In a day my life changed
You and I are parallel lines
Every part the same
And perfectly fine
But where we are headed
And where we came from
Forbids us from touch
Fends off feelings of love
Armed with shields
Of good intentions
Swords formed by
Words of affection
We fight the forces
That see me change
Your disrespect fuels there flames
They have love
A weapon we rue
Care for me outweighs
Pity for you
Soon very soon we'll be redirected
And pulled apart by the worlds we grew up in
And I wonder if love passed me by
Cause I can't seem to find a guy
Who cares enough to look in my eye
And see that I'm about to cry
After I sat there and let him lie
Now I realize you're just pretending
To get that one night
That happy ending
The lies replayed
I thought you could change
I used you for revenge
I guess we're the same
You'll find a new girl
Lifestyle lives on
I'll use our story
To write my next song
No one will know the face that inspired
These words I put down
On the fifth of July
But I'll never forget
The battle we fought
To watch the fireworks one last time
You and I are parallel lines
Every part the same
And perfectly fine
But where we are headed
And where we came from
Forbids us from touch
Fends off feelings of love
We were fragile
From the start
One mistake
Could end it all
