my first break

i can tell you what you want to hear
i cant show you what you want to see
look at me when i talk to you

whats wrong
i care
i promise

i lie
better than a cardboard box under a bridge
you taste better than whisky

i cant remember the last time i smiled
or the first time i loved
ill never forget this feeling

i hate that a heart can make you live
it can kill you at the same time

my pain is settled with a pen
i realize im changed
wish i was different in your eyes

your point is taken

ill forfeit my fight for your love
to pursue a greater begining with our princess
without
further causalties to my ego

u fight a sorry battle with the ammo of who i used to be

my wish is that you can take me past
hook it to the next shooting star
and watch the distance it gets
from the man i am today
and the man i wish you could see tomorrow.
