Those Three Words

Those three words

I think that I've overused them

Maybe I've abused them

I just know that I've used them

But now they won't touch my lips

Unless they've been kissed from another

Yeah, I haven't been a boy since I lost my brother

It's more complicated than just one or two of us

There's so many things that are always happening at once

I was young and dumb and

I didn't understand the value

The value of anything at all

You were some things too

But I can't bring myself to insult you

Blame is just a fickle thing

It was the wrong place, at the wrong time

The two of us weren't meant to find

Shelter and cover inside of each other

Even if for a time we did align

That's just the way it was and

How it remains as the faces change

Sometimes I find what I needed

Sometimes I find what I wanted but

Time always seems to be playing games

At least that's what it seems to me

I didn't realize that I had changed

And that what I thought was right was wrong now

I had become what I had lost

And she was the price that it cost

Only losing, and losing

And losing, again and again

He or she may not see

But we will remember the nights

That we could not sleep

Where our hearts would be four times

Alone now for every single with them by our sides

You may smile, and you may laugh

But your eyes will never lie

And if you look hard enough

You'll find you'll find it

At least you will

At least you will with mine

You can hide behind your eyes

That's what I'm doing with mine

You can hide, you can hide

You can hide, behind your eyes

That's what I'm doing in mine
