Tethered

I know you so well
But I barely ever see you now
And I understand
That you're just trying to figure it out
A love like that was too good to be true
The type that would never work, but it's all I knew
After so many tries, it still crashed and burned
We had our chance
Still couldn't get it right
And on paper you look like
Someone I'd see on the streets
Barely give a second thought
Average as average can be
And I let you in so close
Turned into someone I need
I lost my sense of self
More of you and less of me
And I tried (I tried)
To put it eloquently in words (in words)
You're not the one for me
And I tried (I tried)
To put it eloquently in words (in words)
You're not the one for me
I'm tethering
Some parts of me
To all the memories of you and me
I'll keep in touch
Invisibly
Even though you won't be there for me
