Everything, We've Given Up
Everything, We’ve Given Up
Even in our dreams, we can’t seem to find peace
Sometimes this feels like a never
ending cycle of giving and never
receiving or reciprocating
If we could put ourselves in each others’ shoes
For one day, you become the troubled child with
no vision for the past, present, or future
I’ll become the mad,
The madly in love parent who’s willing to give and take wholeheartedly,
Painful attempts to solve puzzles with forever missing pieces,
Our tears seem to never dry,
Things will not go back to the way they were,
Change lies in acceptance
