half of me

you chose this road yourself
and i'm sure it's the right one
you'll come to know this
by intuition

hope is only paper thin
i can't begin to explain why i feel this way
possibly because of you

let your hands fall to the floor
let your eyes unfocus on me
turn around and see that i am
only half of you

how can you trust in your heart
when your heart isn't listening?
i brought you here by my own will

it's not so hard when you realize
that what you're waiting for is almost here
you can't give up on it now

so many excuses
i can't keep track of them all
there's only one way to know
and there's only one way to fall

let your hands fall to the floor
let your eyes unfocus on me
turn around and see that i am
only half of you

i am only half of you
you are the better half of me
