Giving you up

And in the stillness and the quiet

When there’s nothing left to say

We lie in each others arms

Letting everything just slip away

I knew this wouldn’t be easy

But I can’t believe how hard its become

I never thought losing you

Would hurt this much for so long

There is a part of you I know she’ll never have

It forever belongs to me and you can’t have it back

There are memories and moments

You’ll never dare tell her

Those are our secrets

Our private love affair

She won’t know our secret language

Or how you read my mind

She’ll never understand why I call you up

In the middle of the night

She never will forgive you

If you then run to my side

I know I keep a part of you

But your heart is hers always

I refuse to be the thorn in the side

Of the happiness you now find

But before you bind yourself to her

Before I walk away

Give me one night of our silences

A perfect safe embrace
