No Plagiarism!0MwLDjdqaQ4CWrljZ5zPposted on PＥNAＮＡ

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vuq0u6gUL

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls458cNa2c

You standing there

I'm over here

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHhpsQJJB2

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T7xyoEZNG

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCJMKSFnuV

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6sFl1vUlp

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP2WcfIOKj

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTozLYsUWVi

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPwpsi3d22

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N3V3IxGI1

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

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazDfs7ewDW

What if we tell them goodbye 

I don't want to lie

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaxcyZAK2o

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OYN1lOHIL

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGukVQUx2Qp

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Q0B15ORb

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCfUouIPo2

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

We could never go there

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbER2ut5jL

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO732B7Z4QR

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEjmDIUJuQ

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

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

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG7iKi6o5S

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTl2VM70gk

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfYsXKH3ge

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur 

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNsTxNvzN

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA3XG7zcvS
