Above Ground

Scanning the book
of hard and fast rules
I've read of this forbidden love
a love that's cruel
Loving you is never a piece of cake
It's a tall order
which is hard to take

Loving you is closed to being selfish
I always end up eating my favorite dish
I can't stay away from you
I can't help it but think of you

If I'll stay away from you
It's like burying myself alive
A swimming pool that is water empty
the moment I dived
At all hazards i will continue loving you
I will take the risk knowing I can't have you

I'm all gone but still breathing
My systems are on the go
and never stop functioning
I'm still loving you
wishing you could love me too

I can't stay where I am bound
even if I'm supposed to do the right thing
You are keeping me above the ground
'cause you are my heart's beat
You make my world go round
You raise my feet
