Today's Love

Today the stars returned to my sky
Today the tears dried up from my eyes
She gave me some clarity, of why we couldn't be
She convinced me to face the reality of what shouldn't be

Today the beat returned to my heart
The rhythm that you took when we part
She said she needed more than I could give
She needed more than air to live

Today she gave clarity of why we really couldn't be
Love shouldn't blur, it should be clear to see
It shouldn't stifle or drown you, you should really feel free
I was in love but she simply couldn't breathe

Today the clouds lifted surrounding my head
The feeling of leading returned, instead of being lead
Guided through life by my heart like I had a ring in my nose
Today with this clarity I can see that doors I thought were open, were long ago closed

That feeling of dead weight that was always straddling my chest
That sense of every waking moment simply being test after test
That knot in my stomach that grabs me around the throat
The feeling that I was being totally controlled by remote

Hahaha, today the stars returned, to my sky
Today the tears dried up, from my eyes
She gave me some clarity of why we couldn't be
She convinced me to face the reality of what shouldn't be
