For The Best

If I break my promise

Will you break my nose

If I stand here naked

Would you burn my clothes

If I choose to bleed       

Will you stem the flow

If I ask you to stay

Will you still go

If I promise to change

Will you think it’s true

If I stop being me

I still can’t be you

Maybe this kind of love

Is not what we thought

If I said I was not for sale

Would you still think me bought

Our life seems to me

A pointless race to war

We are together

But we don’t know what for

So shall we agree

To a farewell kiss

And wait for years

To see what we missed

I’m staring out the window

Of a train heading west

Somehow convincing myself

It’s for the best…
