one part be my lover

When he looks in her eyes
He sees only the truth
Telling him hes been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by.
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find where shes been hiding inside
Broken or battered, it really dont matter
Her hearts like a wave and hes the tide.
Theyre not forever, theyre just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
Hes like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
Hes got all of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she cant meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is color, one is grey.
Theyre not forever, theyre just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
So if you know how
Why dont you say em a prayer
Theyre gonna need all the help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget.
Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry their hearts like a newborn child
Cause its only the moment that lasts.
Theyre not forever, theyre just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
