We Draw the Line Between Us

You say don’t speak the words
That I am thinking
It hurts your heart
To know I feel the way I do
I say don’t make promises
You’ll never keep
For every broken promise
Hurts me, too
It’s funny how it all
Comes down to this
You draw your line
And I draw mine, too
We can love someone
That we still miss
And it doesn’t change at all
The things we do
Because love alone is not enough
It does not carry
All the weight of worlds
Or change the past
You say don’t say the words
That I am thinking
I say don’t make promises
That will never last
I will stand beside my line
And I will not falter
You will stand beside yours
And defend your stand
Funny how broken promises
Lie between us
Words build up
But can’t make you understand
You draw your lines
And I draw mine
We cannot turn back
To all that’s gone
You live your life
And I’ll be living mine
We’ll carry love
And yet we’ll carry on.
