i said what i needed to say-
wish i coulda said it in a better way
but everything
that i've tried to explain in subtlety
had all gone in vain.
and the truth that i couldnt hide
and the love i couldnt deny anymore
is just going to make it hurt
like it did once before.
certain things
get in the way of fate
and it's these certain loves
i can not hate
but if i could take it back
some days i would
but i know that it
would do me no good
for i know that somehow
it will always come back to my distant dream
of me wishing i was with you
and know coming to realize
that may never be
because of some fucked up things
inside of me

and when i said it was for her,
i was just trying to save
a road of friendship
that love once paved.
and now after we'd gotten off this path,
for too long it seems,
i've gotten back on it-
if only in my own dreams.
and i somehow think
you want to be here, too-
but there always seems to be
something in the way
between me and you.
