Beyond the View

I saw you through a telescope A million miles away in the night A partial glimpse of subtleties Far beyond the view of naked eyes I mapped the course of shooting stars Sent from you as hints of who you are But I lost sight of you in the black, Caught up searching For the traits you lack But the distance is the lesser crime done I know this hurts It's not the first But it is the worst And you deserve More than me I hope you see Love is lost And I can't be The saving light Of your life In the dark I must hide To keep you safe Far from hate I hope you know You deserve better, better You deserve, you deserve better You deserve better, better You deserve, you deserve better Than me What I'm searching for I do not know Maybe I can't comprehend your light Oh my head, round and round it goes Looking back I wish we took our time But it's not a waste This game we play It's all for what we learn And if we choose to break Or hesitate Take it for what it's worth But the distance is the lesser crime done I know this hurts It's not the first But it is the worst And you deserve More than me I hope you see Love is lost And I can't be The saving light Of your life In the dark I must hide To keep you safe Far from hate I hope you know You deserve better, better You deserve, you deserve better You deserve better, better You deserve, you deserve better Than me
