The Poet

Somewhere deep down in my heart,

there's a poet, and a liar.

They are juxtaposed more than the sun and the moon,

yet they find a way to work together.

And with every word that I say, they are writing and conspiring.

How the hell can we just make it worse?

Kiss the girl that you love, then you hurt her...

For some reason I can't seem to shake

oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,

then I'd give you the half you deserve.

And just always remember I honestly would die for you.

'cause I couldn't live without you.

And I tried so hard not to be what I saw growing up,

but that only made me into a rabid dog, baring its teeth.

Not the man I hoped I'd grow to be.

two steps closer, I'm six steps back,

and I bring you down with me...

Oh, it tears me apart, yeah, it honestly does,

just to know that I made it all worse.

For some reason I can't seem to shake

oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,

then I'd give you the half you deserve.

And just always remember I honestly would die for you.

'cause I couldn't live without you.
