I can't see 'em comin down my eyes so I gotta let these songs cry

Enough to hold you to the brightest of lights, to place you dangerously close to that sun,
Enough to acknowledge the flaws you can't ignore and recognize the cause of what's done is done,
More than enough to put my name behind my ideals,and neglect my logic twice daily.
Enough to keep me looking for my Gem in the Sky, when I remember how you used to call me baby,
Enough to look in my mirror with detest for every tear I shed regardless of why I wept,
Enough to curse any man who can't appreciate the depth of the ocean I swam til I ran out of breath!
I love you, don't ever fucking question that, that's why we'll probably never get along.

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it but I know inside that I'm gonna be alright

Funny cause for awhile walked around with a smile
But deep inside, I could hear voices telling me "This ain't right,
don't you know, it's not for you", I always knew what I had to do
I played my part, saw the way you were from the start
Expected so much from you, you had a girl when we first came through
Did the best that you could do, now I realize I can't change you
But leaving you is what I need to do..... to be ok.

...all I have to base everything on? A "fuck you" from you to me so frankly, "all my pride is all I have."
