Reverse
by Jennifer Sakamoto
to be lonely yet great
leave each other we must
though our love replaces love's definition
remember my darling this world is properly not ours
we were meant to carry more than just us
you and i were carved for great things two seas apart
must we be honest and cry my love
while the heart knows how to live
the brain most certainly knows how to think
let us accept the choice we already know we'll make
let us forget us and part
oh whom am i trying to fool
hold me now while the clocks allow
remember my lips that read go my eyes that say stay
before you go
take my essence take my pen
take my essence take my pen
before you go
remember my lips that read go my eyes that say stay
hold me now while the clocks allow
oh whom am i trying to fool
let us forget us and part
let us accept the choice we already know we'll make
the brain most certainly knows how to think
while the heart knows how to live
must we be honest and cry my love
you and i were carved for great things two seas apart
we were meant to carry more than just us
remember my darling this world is properly not ours
though our love replaces love's definition
leave each other we must
to be lonely yet great
