You or Them



Sometimes I hear songs and remember why I love you 
Loved you
Sometimes I hear that song and remember how we both cried home silently that night 
Sometimes I hear a song and remember how I used to hear the tires against the road more clearly than the lyrics 
Sometimes I hear songs and wonder if you think about me when you hear them too 
Sometimes I hear the words meet in verses and replay how your lips use to softly harmonize with the lyrics 
Sometimes I turn the radio off because somehow so many more songs became more relevant 
Some songs don't sound the same 
Some songs don't seem the same 
Some songs have been erased 
Some songs allow my heart to dwell in the company of pain
You keep coming up
But you have been deleted 
We have been deleted 
You keep pushing me away 
You keep giving me reasons to come closer
You keep preaching of your hate 
Yet your constant interest displays your love 

And he thinks I'm still good 
He still sees the little girl in my eyes 
He thinks I'm still that girl
But he knows of nothing except fixing mistakes 
Yes he knows acceptance very well
But too much of anything is never too good
You know? 

And I think I'm witnessing two in love 
I think it's love
I think it's great 
Destruction is greater though 
Remember?
I don't know if it's defined in her drunken laugh but definitely in her sleepless nights 
The wine enhances, the weed lets her take chances
I know 
        because it's been too long I live in these circumstances
