Tearing apart

I know I must be there where you are
And look into your eyes to feel the depth.
But I am here. It's tearing me apart...
Living my life without you instead.

I've never thought I would end up like this:
It's finishing when I'm about to start.
I'm in a cage right after my release.
These freedom tears tear my soul apart.

I wonder what it feels like to be you:
To know that you are losing your own part,
To be so helpless when you face the truth,
To tear our hearts so fierce apart.

So go ahead and say you don't need me!
Be my strict judge and show me a red card.
The game is lost. And I will have to leave.
We will be both completely torn apart.

Tearing apart is what we do to us:
Not close, not far, in love and not in love.
It's led us both to burning painful scars.
And our love keeps tearing us apart.
