You Are Not

Our love was kept in secret

But now that you're gone, I see

There is no one else to keep it

with me

How many inside jokes

Will go untold

Cause there's no one left

To tell them to anymore?

How many movies go unseen

Cause we said we'd see them together?

Why could we not weather the storm?

I tried to be the perfect lover

I tried to be the perfect friend

You searched the room for any other

Severed ties I tried to mend

Let's not pretend there's still a love here

Or anything worth saving

Our walls tumble, they crumble, I fear

Like this face I am braving

That storm we could not weather

Came for us both in the end

You are not my lover

You are not my friend
