You and I

Sitting, you and I Staring, you and I Across the bed Through each other As we've done So many years Saying no words They've all been said So many times before                                  Walking, you and I                                  Talking, you and I                                  As we go through                                  The places and scenes                                  Worn in our minds                                  Like old clothes                                  Words come out                                  They're always the same                                  The usual, banal, nonsense Lying, you and I Crying, you and I There's too many ways We hurt each other Making wounds That just won't heal Leaving scars Ugly and bleeding Slowly dripping in pain                                  Living, you and I                                   Dying, you and I                                  For the moments                                  We both know                                  Will never come to us                                  Tired and exhausted                                  Of this love                                  Of this life                                  We've made between us                          So damn this life, damn our love             Damn those vows that fell from above             Damn the truth, damn the lies             Damn the stories and alibis             Damn the moments, damn the years             Damn the reasons that brought the tears             Damn our lust, damn that bed             Damn the words we never said             Damn the airs, damn the violence             Damn the stares, damn the silence             Damn you and I, damn what's been             Damn it all, and damn it again
