Two Fires of Different Colors

i once again in my life am trapped
couldn't break through
but either way it's lose-lose
myself, or you

for a moment in my life i wanted all of it
but then i realized
you always will be too precious to be mine
and yet i still have tried

you were the best scent
but i chose to leave
for where i couldn't smell you
that's where i can breathe

to live for you is to lie
to live with you is to die
