I Hate You're My Home

If truth was a song

I'd sing it like this

I'd tell you each touch

It feels like a kiss

You know when we meet

That friendship retreats

There's a flame in my heart

That I just can't dismiss

Is part of you enough?

Goddamn, not at all

But how did I get here?

And how did I fall?

In truth, I don't know

Which way should this go

What if I break us

And then lose it all?

What words can I say?

Oh, what can you know?

What thoughts should I speak?

What view can I show?

A red hot knife

This dance, this strife

I hate that we're here

I hate you're my home

I'm mad that I'll let you complete me I'm whole

I hate how you're the fire in my soul

Damn right I'll hold back

I know that you'd crack

If I let you see that

Which I truly hold

What words can I say?

Oh, what can you know?

What thoughts should I speak?

What view can I show?

A red hot knife

This dance, this strife

I hate that we're here

I hate you're my home

So if I let loose, will you pull away?

Will you accept it and make your own play?

I'm stuck in between

What's felt but unseen

Is there a hope that you might feel the same?

The risk is too great

Don't worry, I'm fine

Let's just shut that door

Let's not cross that line

But just for your smile

I'll hang a while

My fucking heart

My tortured mind

What words can I say?

Oh, what can you know?

What thoughts should I speak?

What view can I show?

A red hot knife

This dance, this strife

I hate that we're here

I hate you're my home
