The Way You Are

Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs

And I’m just staying strong

And I wish you would stay a little longer

But I may have misspoke, as you consider me gone

if you're ever passing through here

remember without asking any questions

I was a distraction in the moment of perfection that we now live and we walk among

in the same dimension, as our bodies are contained with the same space we arranged

People making gestures and holding hands, I try to feel that way once again

As a child, a boy, then a man

I look to you friend, with a weary heart and an empty feeling

I’ve grown tired of the feeling I’ve drug along

Everything else I can disregard

I don’t mind the history of your heart,

nothing in your past will tear us apart

I love you just the way you are

I love you just the way you are

if you're ever feeling sorry

Remember I’m here for confessions

I was a cold and distant in your moment of reflection

in two different positions, as you forget the space we spent our days

People forgetting hope and mending friends, It’s hard to feel that way again

As a fool, a joke, without a plan

I look to you my stranger, with a little faith and weathered hands

Removed from my anger hidden in my disguise

As the autumn leaves begin to die

I’ve grown to wonder if you’re doing fine

I think Ive figured out how to finally pass the time

Regardless of my thoughts

I hope you’re okay

I hope you’re doing fine
