Somewhere we walk the line


An affair where lovers find 


The clandestine 


Forgive me for what I’ve left behind

My hurt, my heal, my pride


They said beauty should be enough

But 
It isn’t if you truly knew me


 

Not if we ever touch 


Not if we ever feel alive 


 

I found freedom in your lips 


When you whisper the promises 


We keep concealed 


Like callouses 
In my palms 


Waiting to be revealed 


Before too long


Before we lie remiss 


Side by side, holding hands

Grasping on to someone who understands 


What this is to fall


I no longer want to hurt


I no longer want to hide

I can't 


I just want you to unearth


These feelings I have buried so deep inside 


Forgive me for what I’ve left behind

My hurt, my heal, my pride


They said beauty should be enough but


It isn’t if you truly knew me


 

Not if we ever touch


Not if we ever feel alive 


 

I found freedom in your lips 


And now our love


No longer has to be so clandestine.
