Would it matter if I let you
live your life but you won't
let me live mine?
What are we?
—a confusion of sorts—
nobody could tell us
what to feel or who to loveBut would it matter if I let you
have your way with me
but you expect me to fit
the mold you set out of
your expectations in
what love was supposed to be
What are we, love?
—a blur in the vast
labels of sorts—
nobody could tell us
what to do if we feel trapped
in this choice we made
out of a misunderstanding
of our hearts' criesWould it matter if I let you
throw words at me but when
I say them back, you won't hear it?
What are we?
—a distraction of sorts—
nobody could tell us
how to fix these growing gaps
we thought we could cross
even though we're bound
to fail from the startWould it matter, now, love
if I let you change me against
my will but you wouldn't change
when I needed you to?
What are we?
—a chokehold in a vast
sea of defenses—
nobody could tell us
how to survive a crash
after letting ourselves fall
into a chasm without
a saving graceWould it matter, love
if I let you love me
the way I don't need
to be loved?
