the boy i want cries in his sleep.
i keep vigil to watch him breathe.
i
still want to believe
there is no shame in standing still.
i can't be too dumb or strong-willed.
i've watched you fall this far before.
i want to be what you live for.
your antics can't push me too far
if i'm a romantic with either kind of R(r).
when you wish for her, i'll be your star.
when you've lost her, i'll know where you are.
her indulgence may be hard to take,
but how can i say it's all a mistake?
you'd laugh through tears and say it's for my sake.
can your poor heart stand another break?
the girl you want is like a breeze.
with kitten eyes, she stares at me.
i
still want to believe
there is no shame in standing fast.
if you go too, how could i last?
i've never felt this insecure.
i thought i was what you lived for.
the boy i love is like a blur.
his sad blue eyes stare after her.
i
want you to believe
there is no shame in standing back.
she'll break your heart, but i won't crack.
and when she up-and-outs-the-door,
then i'll still be what you live for.
