Us Avoiding We

The smiles are replaced by teardrops that you and I both cry,

our love is growing colder as we prepare to say good-bye.

It’s really not the love loss that is pushing us away,

it’s the boredom and frustration growing stronger everyday.

Both of us have found a way to go off and just be free,

Why is it that you can’t see it’s Us Avoiding We?

The love’s no longer magic, the gold has turned to ash,

we no longer share the same dreams, decisions made are rash.

I really think I love you, yet lately I don’t know,

our relationship is crumbling and we choose to stand alone.

We used to laugh together, now we cry apart,

our lives were filled with sunshine and the beating of two hearts.

Yet now we live together and how distant we’ve become,

we no longer see the glory in the majestic setting sun..

I’d love to see the fun return, the smiles and the laughs,

the times when we were never an aching heart in half.

The pain we feel seems stronger than the love we used to share,

the doubts and all the worries seem more than we can bear.

Time is passing quickly and someday you too will see,

we shared the best before the days of Us Avoiding We...
