I Would Have Done The Same For You

It's been so long since you called my room
Pretending to be someone else
I've not seen your face from across my plate
Nor have I read your poems in the dark by the light of a camera


Chorus
But what are we for if not for this?
What are we going to do?
You'd buy me the sky if it weren't quite so high
And you know I would have done the same for you


I watch your face from across my space
Everything you do is mine
I give you time, you give me your eyes
I pretend not to realize what you mean and what you think I mean

Chorus

You leave me now with your head held high
Pretending to be someone else
I watch you go knowing it's the end
There will not be time again for me to draw you in

Chorus
