the lines we crossed

The lines we drew from you to me 
Were much clearer when we both could see
What we wanted from this before we knew
Where we would take each other when the lines drew few

We crossed paths we didn't know we could 
And discovered places we probably never should 
We walked lines we never needed to cross 
And suffered from all of its heartache and loss 

You and I made so many mistakes
Haunted by pasts that made our hearts shake. 
The lines we crossed were endless it seemed 
The lies and names and never ending schemes. 

You showed me things I never should have seen
Like cold eyes and hearts and all that's in between
Without your poison here I'm safe at last
Able to step away from my haunted past. 

You stood there and watched me break 
Watched me fall apart with every escape 
Then I'd feel you pull the knives out of my back 
When every sigh of relief felt more like an attack 

You fed me lies right from the start
Claimed everything that your not
Said that honesty was what your about 
And you believed in your lies without any doubts

Destruction was unavoidable here
Too many lines were crossed, paths unclear
Too many walls were put up to get us here
Too much heartache. Too much fear.
