Two People

TWO PEOPLE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Every time I take a breath

It feels like I have nothing left to give

Your words slow dance in my ears

The emotion that I feel won’t live

It won’t live to see the day

You take my breath away again

Never will

Never again

This is how two people act

They carry on as a matter of fact

Turning their heads from the love they were meant to share

And this is how two people behave

Falling victim to their own slave

That lives in the conscious heart somewhere

Every time I see with my eyes

I see the clear blue skies dancing with the dawn

Your words slice into my bones

Leaving me all alone where pictures are drawn

We won’t die fast enough

For me to forget about all this stuff

Never will

Never again

This is how two people act

They carry on as a matter of fact

Turning their heads from the love they were meant to share

And this is how two people behave

Falling victim to their own slave

That lives in the conscious heart somewhere

Every time I take a breath

I feel there is absolutely nothing left

There is absolutely nothing left to give

Your words slow dance in my ears

 Leaving me to the ending years

Of a life that has doomed me where I live

I won’t live to see the day

When you will take my breath away again

Never will

Never again

This is how two people act

They carry on as a matter of fact

Turning their heads from the love they were meant to share

And this is how two people behave

Falling victim to their own slave

That lives in the conscious heart somewhere

That slave is love and fear

This is how two people play

Never listen to the things they say

To each other … or even to themselves

This is how it has to end

State of shock is the only state I can get in

Never will

Never again

This is how two people act

They carry on as a matter of fact

Turning their heads from the love they were meant to share
