Caught in spells like phases
On opposite extremes
Whether we speak life as a nightmare
Or the hype of our dreams
When the romance isn't what it used to be
We're just detoxing from fantasy
Learning to understand true intimacy
When face to face with circumstances and adjusting to reality
Yet nothing is as bad as it tries to appear
When it boasts of its weight in a delusion of fear
You just want to be heard but you don't want to hear
Sabotage for a lack of giving voice to wisdom when love draws near
While I retreat to the thought of feeling like it's my fault
Despite the ways I get it right, what's wrong short sights the value
When I'm the one to blame for the depreciated worth of my words
Disbelieve your doubts when I say I love you
When love feels like it's reduced to vapor
Is it the gift or the curse of breathing
Does it always have to have the right flavor
Or can it just be that we understand the beauty of bleeding
When pain is the endurance of prolonged suffering
And disappointed desires to see the seasons change
The way and when we want them to
All I have is the pain of a blood soaked offering
When all I have to give is all that remains
And all I can say is I still love you
Despite all that tests our will to commit
As we devote a lifetime to see it through
When everything is shaken will we stand
As love goes from just mentally ascending to ideals but what we do
How do I say it today, beyond the words
Please know, though I'm still learning what it means
I still love you
And even when life hurts
I still love you...
