Look… here’s the truth I can’t outrun,
The moment I met you, my heart came undone.
It leapt toward yours like destiny,
A love that made no sense to me.
I fell so deep, so instantly,
A feeling strong as memory.
And though we fit so perfectly,
Your heart won’t fall the same for me.
Oh, what’s a man supposed to do,
When every breath is tied to you?
When loving me is something you
Could never feel, could never do?
So I love you still, though it breaks me through,
And I pull away… though I cling to you.
You enjoy the moments that we share,
But I love you more than your heart can bear.
You smile with warmth, you’re kind, you’re free,
But you’re not in love, not deep, like me.
So day by day, I step aside,
Acting strong while my feelings hide.
Walking wounded, silently,
Losing pieces internally.
But it’s the only way, you see
’Cause the end would devastate me.
And losing you completely
Is a wound I’d wear eternally.
Oh, what’s a man supposed to do,
When his whole soul aches to stay with you?
When the only path is pulling through,
Though every step feels untrue?
So I let you go, though it tears me wide,
Keeping the storm on the inside.
Still, quietly, I dream at night
Of a “forever-us” where love burns bright.
But truth steps in to disagree
A never-us is what must be.
I think of you endlessly,
Wish fate had drawn a different key.
Wish hearts aligned like poetry
But some loves aren’t meant to be set free.
So I whisper goodbye in the softest way,
Though it’s you I want, more every day.
And I pull back slow so your heart stays light,
While mine breaks down in the quiet night.
Oh, what’s a man supposed to do,
When loving you is all he knew?
But loving me is not in you
And letting go is overdue.
So I set you free, though it empties me
Because a never-us… must be.
