Lately we've been fighting

Each worse than the last

The sound of laughter missing

The time of smiles gone past

Before my very eyes

Our relations breaking down

Tears are overwhelming

Sobs are all that sound

And I thought we knew each other

Like we know ourselves

But why can't we stop screaming

And ripping out our hearts?

If love is supposed to be simple

What should we call this?

Easy is non existent

Hard is all this is

Because now when I see you

I don't smile and feel

My heartbeat racing faster

The spark, there used to be

And now every time we're there

We pick out each other's flaws

Critical and bitter

We both leave feeling worse

And now I dread to see you

I flinch at your touch

I'm so goddamn exhausted

It's gotten to be so hard

But how do you say goodbye?

When this is all you've known

A lifetime with you has past

But we both have to leave home
