When I Look At You

I put the phone away to hide the name, the pain I know you know, but you don't care Another hour, yet another day we step away from the fire we once burned The things that we hide in darkness the things we don't say the things that we take for granted and the way you look away the pain that comes when I look at you the sad remorse that I never knew the chance that another life, somewhere was lost to us the numbness of this fighting, too the quiet voices in the other room, when the choice of a better life, somehow is lost to us You find the note that he left another one, who cares? It hurts me more that we both pretend I lower my voice, you lower your gaze not to see the embers of what we were
