The Stand By

we used to hold hands.
while we smiled.
playing content, pressing pretend.
now it's distant glances, mistaken prances.

As we both stand by.
I learn to cry.
wishing I could die.
Never meaning to pry.

I'm done being happy.
faking my smile.
when my life is so crappy.
that I have a act for a while.

it's exhausting me.
I'm dying inside.
remembering back to when I was your king.
cause now I'm trying too hard to fill your spot when all I want to do is see you and him divide.

I'm trying to hard to stand by.
praying to god that I can release my mating cry.
what will my fate decide.
show me love instead of an incompetent sign.
