No Plagiarism!cFZtcvBSzi9ikNeX8NUOposted on PＥNAＮＡ

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvIpSAsx1O

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzRRggh2n

You standing there

I'm over here

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vVsu1JMie

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TASi2vF1

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MyqSQHOD

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqHU5PdiyS

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf0oaUdCF5

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSt1E63YG1

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnZrWC6iGG

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhWyJSG1ja

All those years ago when both us were single

Why didn't the spark between us lit a flame

A sort of kindle

My heart should have known your name

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3v1G7t1l4

What if we tell them goodbye 

I don't want to lie

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuEv7yAjXO

Not to myself and not to him, but it's you I want

In my slumber it's your name I chant

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWnHn7U8bN

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwuCpj6fbu

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM25FMJRAtC

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d5YGaAZIC

Of the memories of me and him, you and her,

We could never go there

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMK0kTITrL

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEtbmrSnaa

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2o2gU2cg8

Just wanting to touch you once, feeling your lips on mine

Shaking the thoughts out of my head, it's a damn crime

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHyMm2oL1L

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLXyHLOWVJ

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO0JojGiQV

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur 

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0lUY2nBB

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNEbmBGtps
