How Did We Get Here?

How did we make it to this
Tension so thick it won't permiss
A single word to pass our lips?
We used to stay up late
Talking the hours away.
But now here we sit,
Neither one about to give,
Not an inch, not a breath.
We both want to come out on top
In this fight where I see no stop,
But we're both just losing.
Darling, it's all so confusing.
You mean so much to me,
So here I go, I'm gonna break,
And let you win,
If only for love's sake.

One Sided

If I gave you all of me,
Would you turn around
And give it back?
Or keep there
Beneath your chest,
To feel me close
With every breath?

Will you keep our fire strong?
Or let it burn
Right to the ground?

Baby I'm afraid to say
I already know which you'll do.
