we ran free, you and me
a night under Christmas lights hung carefully from the trees
we held hands and were excited just to be together
finally
you and me
I don't want to count the moments
when the good ones were so few
I don't want to know the moment
when we lost it, me and you
because what we had, I never really knew
and wishing and praying never made it true
and I hate that you sit where you are
the miles between us never felt so far
but I can't move forward wondering
if you've any bridges left not burned
if you might lose the grip of the bottle, if you'll learn
if you will find a lover who would make you leave your shattered world behind
or if you'll make it back this time
what I want is peace
for you
and for me
but I can only work on me.
so save a portion of your heart
reserve it only for your new start
free of you and me
