Let's Not Blame Anyone for this

Me and you - we are two worlds apart - not literally but gradually we've drifted away
To different places your face is not composed of the same features that i remember loving
When your hands squeeze my shoulders I don't want to be smoldered in your fire
Because that flame that use to burn doesn't rise as high and my heart doesn't blaze
How it did those first days we were in love
We were in love once upon a time but I cannot find the reason why i use past tense words
When I'm refering to us - When I refer to us, my tummy butterflies don't flutter
And make me stutter over words I've been speaking since I was one
We were one person - I remember yearning for you the moment you were out of my sight
I remember crying for you at night because I wished you were there beside me
You are still beside me but I don't sense your presence so I look for your shadow
I admire how your shadow still follows you after all these years
After all these years I've lost interest in your steps - I can't guess what you're thinking
Nor do I care, nor do I ask because it should be natural
It use to be natural for me to latch onto your words and heed your warnings
Now I walk into traffic without looking both ways and I scream in libraries
Because I'm attempting to make sense of the world without you
The world without you is awry if we don't exist
When we go to bed I feel alone - I feel your mind roaming and I'm zoning out of your orbit
Into fairytale land where happy endings are always possible
I use to think it wasn't just possible, it was preordained for us to be characters in a Disney
Movie - Everyone wished they had what we shared
If I still cared as much as I use to, then I might have cried when I heard your heart breaking
I may not have walked away from attempting to make us work but I am
I am going to be cliche and say, "Its not you, its me"
I think this would be easier if there was someone to blame but in the same the game must end
Regardless of how we play our cards, this hand wasn't dealt in our favor
So do me a favor and please stop trying to run from the truth
No one is immune to communication so stop contemplating your escape from an inevitable
Discussion on how our empire is meeting its extinction
You can't make the distinction between broken and functional but thats typical for you
Its typical that you would overlook ominous clouds and leave your car windows down anyway
I guess it makes sense that you haven't notice we're not in the same boat
How did you not see me float down stream and our dreams wither in my motor blades?
This convinces me you have selective eyesight but that's alright
Because at the end of the night you'll close your eyes and dream up a new future that does not include me
