The Tide By Two Moons

When you call me, to find out where I am
You'll hear my phone ring, from across the hall
I left it on my dresser, with the letter wrote for you
Telling you the truth that I denied

When you miss me, know that I regret
I couldn't tell you, because I knew you'd understand
I couldn't bear to break your heart, when you realized
That leaving was the best thing I could do for you

I'm pulled down and spun around
The tide by two moons
Everything was out of place it seemed
Somewhere outside the world I've known
I hope that I might find
Something I could finally call life

When you wonder, if you did something wrong
You gave me so much, I never deserved
You did your best for me, I know that you did
I'll come back sometimes if that'd be alright

I'm pulled down and spun around
The tide by two moons
Everything was closing in on me
I've lived inside a sheltered place
Scratching at the walls
Never sure if I would ever bring them down

You had always hoped that when I'd leave
I wouldn't go far
I would be a moment's drive away
It wasn't you I ran from
It was the faces in that town
The person that they thought
That they once knew

I'm pulled down and spun around
The tide by two moons
What I need, and what I leave behind
You know I cannot carry on
Content to live a lie
Slowly breaking both of us apart
