One Part Be My Lover

When he looks in her eyes He sees only the truth Tellin' him he's been living a lie Over and over like a line in a song About all the love he let pass him by To her he might be the man of her dreams To find what she's been hiding inside Broken or battered it really don't matter Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide They're not forever just for today One part be my lover, one part go away He's like a boxer who had to retire After winning but killing a man All of the moves and none of the courage Afraid to throw a punch that might land Not too much later she can't meet his glance You see her start pulling away Over and over like fire and ice One is colored, one is gray They're not forever just for today One part be my lover, one part go away If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer They're gonna need all they help they can get They remember too much about what went wrong It might be they should learn to forget Forget themselves in each other And leave what belongs in the past Carry thier hearts like a new born child Cause it's only the moment that lasts They're not forever, just day to day One part be my lover one part go away One part go away
