The Difference Between Us

[image error]


The difference between us

is that I say how I truly feel

and you say what I want to hear

and somewhere in the middle

we failed to understand each other.


The difference between us

is that I find homes in people

and you find excuses

and somewhere in between

I found myself closing my door


The difference between us

is I walk away when I’m confused

but you convince people that you’re sure

but eventually your hesitation prevailed

and it became harder to trust you


The difference between us

is that I heal myself when I’m broken

but you break people when you’re hurt

and then my heart starts to wonder

if this is where it truly belongs


The difference between us

is that I don’t find joy in dishonesty

and you find pleasure in deception

but eventually your manipulation

brought the end of our story


The difference between us

is that you expect me to wait

and I expect you to show up

but somehow your absence made more sense

and I found myself much happier without you
