The differences between us

They’re black and white,

they’re brutally gray,

and here to stay

Me and you

The things you’ve faced

You found jewels laced with poison

You found love that came broken

Your heart became frozen

Nothing went as planned

And then you withdrew

I don’t know anything about the

poisoned,

broken,

frozen,

pieces of you

I don’t know anything about you

It’s so different yet as true as time

I’ve faced things I’ll never say

They’ll never compare to your day

Yet the whispering doubt always stays

You look at me and misunderstand

I look at you and misunderstand

We’re so different

I don’t understand you

But if I tried

    I’d see how much

         Your words hold true

If I saw

    I’d fight the world 

         With just me and you

If I heard

    clear as crystal

         I knew I’d persue

I don’t understand

But I want to

No one tries to understand

But they need to

They need to risk

They need to ask

They need to stand

Then they’ll give that chance

The chance for the pieces of your heart

to risk

    together

to ask

    united

to stand

    in harmony

A chance

I understand that I will never understand

But I stand with you
