Living On Bed Terms

I can't sleep because of you 
your on the couch rebelling
against my rules 
we can't stand each other
at this point and I'm fighting
the choice to choose
what I really want 
because I don't know want I want

I thought I loved you
So why does it hurt?
I don't want to want you
But I can't seem to close my eyes 
without your body next to mines
I hate that you won't compromise
Your tired of all my wining

I feel like pulling my hair out 
lord is this a sign? Why doesn't he care 
that I'm crying? I hate this feeling of living 
on bad terms. We used to be on the same
team but now were on different
turfs. 

I wish I could could reach my
sanity right now because maybe
than I could find who I use to love. 
But he doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Is love really like this is it all meant to fall apart?
