Maybe It’s Better

Maybe I should take down this picture that you painted

Or maybe I will want that memory

It’s funny I can still taste those colors on your fingers

In the picture you still stand close to me

I’d never take you away from the life that you made of your dreams

But if I could live twice

I’d be there in one of your scenes

With your eyes painting me

Through the frame and your smile I’d see my reflection

But maybe it’s better – maybe it’s better this way

Now I can see - why you needed your distance

For the same reasons I needed mine

You never had the space in your life for these two loves

Demanding too much of your time

But I’d never take you away from the life that you made of your dreams

But if I could live twice

I’d be there in one of your scenes

With your eyes painting me

Through the frame and your smile I’d see my reflection

But maybe it’s better – maybe it’s better this way

Going down our chosen roads – walking separate ways

We find our place in this Universe

I won’t take you away from the life that you made of your dreams

But if I could live twice

I’d be there in one of your scenes

With your eyes painting me

Through the frame and your smile I’d see my reflection

But maybe it’s better – maybe it’s better - maybe it’s better this way
