You are coming home soon
I hope that you don't know me
I hope you don't acknowledge
What was never meant to be
I hope that you don't talk to me
It will only cause me pain
Nothing has altered since you left
Everything is just the same
And I would love to be your friend
But things can never be that way
You tried so hard to make me leave
I surprized you when I said I'd stay
And I hope you know I cared
How could I not? We were connected
Your love was more than I could bear
I wonder if you think you're right
I'm almost certain that you do
I wonder if you ever think
"All mine, all me, not you."
Take this fault and turn it in
Bear it for awhile
Maybe then you'll see the sin
That always rested in a smile
And maybe then you'll understand
Everything alters with the grasp of one hand
