I Set You Apart

I can't say anymore that I want someone to come along
To show me what this life is
Don't run away if you ever hear this
I thing you should know

I know what kind of man I want to be
Even if destiny is not set up for you and me
I know who I am
I don't want to but I will
If it gets me closer to you

I know you love him
But I think you should know I care for you
If you never want to see me again
I don't mind
Just decide one more time

Regret is something I will have forever
If I can't tell you
Isolation is where I will be
If I can't let you see

What would you say if I stayed?
What would you do if I changed?
If you call my name
I will come running

You have heaven in your eyes
As I'm finding the words
Your getting away

I wake up to find it's another nine period day
The orange light has dimmed so it's time to fall out
I need to hear some sounds that reflect what I'm feeling
It's cold so I put on my black blazer
I wait on the corner again
I sit on the brown leather seat and i realize
My life has become a boring love song
And everyone is singing along
Except for me

I'll be here and that's what I'll do
I have to let you go
I don't want to but i will
To be there for you
It's all that I can do
For some reason I set you apart
I just wish that you were mine

    Sry to be repetitive but i also liked the part about ur life becoming a boring love song i can relate to that..i use to so easily sing songs about being in love with someone who isnt in love with you or w.e but now i hate all the feelings it brings up but to everyone else its just melodies and verses....went off on a tangent huh?! lol anyways good poem
