this part of the earth has separated itself
its expanse is falling into the sea
i stepped its ground when the hate was born
and it brought me to him just to take him from me

i'll sleep for hours and hours on his wedding night
as my new future towers over all in sight
it's my fault

i still want his name to become my name
i still want to blame every last inch of this
swamp water quicksand that pulls us in
and every new thought and old dream that will pull us out
and every false hope and bright light where it's said to begin
and every last lie and distraction that cements my doubt
i blame you.

i know i'm naive and spiteful now
i want to believe, but when it comes to pain
i'm selfish and now my fear of you is becoming
something more frightening than what I had first learned
cause I'm getting worse.

i fell in love and i won't take it back
i want to be loved only by this man
i'm afraid of the pain but i know what it's worth
and still I believe that you do have a plan
or something set aside for me
and the peace you can give me helps me fall asleep
this is love.
