A Thousand Years..

It feels like a thousand years since we first met, and I still can’t breathe
It’s always you in my head, always you in my dreams
You’re like a poison, running through my veins, killing me slow
I can’t seem to let you or the thought of you go.

I know the way you like to play it; hot and cold
It’s starting to tire me, it’s really getting old
Yet still I seem to idolize you
Even though you’re the one who makes me blue.

I just can’t understand why the whole room doesn’t
Stop and stare when you walk in,
Because every single time I see you, I lose my breath
And my heart skips a hundred beats..

I lost count of the times you made me cry
Lost count of the times we said goodbye
Even though I know there will be a million more tears,
And a constantly breaking heart, losing you is what I really fear.

Love is a mistake we never stop making,
And one that hurts more each time we try to correct it
Love is a battlefield we love to fight in
And love is the reason that at night I cry.

I still can’t understand why the whole room doesn’t
Stop and stare when you walk in,
Because every single time I see you, I lose my breath
And my heart skips a thousand beats..
