i would rather lose it all.
than to watch our love fall.
tumble down.
to the ground.
with the pieces.
never to be found

i would rather cry at night
than to see us in a fight
with all the tears.
in the clear
for who knows
how many years.

i would rather forget my name
than to see us not the same
stay as we are
even if its hard
keep us on our steady par
lighting up our fading star

i would rather break a bone
than to leave you all alone
suffer through the pain
so it's only you that remains
with nothing else for us to gain
our love just seems to wane and wane
