by Britt Treece

they started off so innocent and pure
how did it all crumble?
never thought they'd be pulled apart
how did it come to this?

and he looks at her and tries to read her
guessing at what he doesn't know
and sometimes he's wrong
he tries too hard

guess he wouldn't try so hard if they weren't so far apart
but they are
and he doesn't know what to do to fix it

his heart is broken, never healing
since nothing gets better it seems
he holds out his love for her and protects it
but sometimes he loses his true focus - love
and it's always a mistake

she just wants to see him
she just wants to be with him
she misses him
but he tries too hard

I assume
this is what I think
I assume

I realized today how much I despise people trying to read me
and I'm so sorry
I never meant you any harm at all
I just try too hard
instead of being Britt, I try too hard

yes, I'm still learning
I pray I'm improving
please pray for me tonite, as I will for you
I send my love to you from a distance
I wish it wasn't so
