Thin Black Line

The line was never crossed it was drawn for me to see
I asked you so many times to make me the king 
You always looked but never touched
I dreamed of once being maybe your crutch
Then came the storm it wiped out our life
I knew it was over
But like a fool I never give up
Love for me is always too much
I cried when you left
I cried when you stayed
Then you said something that made me think
Is cruelty my fortune?
The car pulled up I got in and said drive 
The man in the shadow asked are you really that surprised ?
All of a sudden it hit me
I knew I was right
It took all my feelings to make it real bright
I am the one in control so it shall be 
The line just got thicker for me
