Love ≙ Loss

Either I’ll lose you or you’ll lose me,

This fear in my mind won’t let me be

Visions of loss, of you slipping away,

Dark thoughts that linger and cloud every day

I dread a future I cannot defend,

A fate that I fear I can't comprehend

I know it’s certain, but it crushes my soul

I know it’s certain, but it crushes my soul,

And how do I pretend it’s not taking its toll?

I try to hold tight to each memory,

Future relics of you that soon cease to be

A future without you

But it don’t seems like I have a choice,

There’s no way to escape it

There’s no escape, no way to run

A burden to carry, for everyone

A cycle of sorrow that never will cease,

Loss follows love,

And love follows grief

But I’d rather bear it than cause it for you,

I wish it was something I’d never put you through

Either I’ll lose you

Or you’ll lose me,

Love and loss

Are bound to be.

For there is no love

Without loss, you see.

Either I’ll lose you

Or you’ll lose me,

Love and loss

Are bound to be.

For there is no love

Without loss, you see

Loss follows love,

And love follows grief

Either I’ll lose you

Or you’ll lose me
