Unforgiving Circumstance

It’s all come back around again
From friends to lovers and back to friends
 And though we may try to pretend
We both know this game has to end

 Though my heart is wrapped in yours so tight
And I think of you constantly day and night,
Try and try with all our might
Truth and reality must shed its light

Our responsibility outweighs our desire
Even while we play with fire
But my heart is balancing on this wire
And to me the circumstances are dire

We can’t go on pretending its okay
And I know we both want to stay
But it will never work this way
I am weak, please be strong and walk away.

Be dignified and say you’re free
Enjoy the peace and sanity
Find someone that lets you be who you want to be
But please don’t forget to think of me

Just know that in my heart you'll always be mine
And although life has given us bad time
I’ll always love you and I won’t ever mind
Forever yours, forever thine
