Bigger Than Us

You want to know why I left?
Ask the sun why it sets
You want resolution
I swim in evolution
You want to fist fight love
I say take off the gloves
Swing hard and make it count
Love knows no bounds or rounds
It took the rules and burned them down
You want to know why I left?
The answer lies beneath my chest
Swollen tissue, scarred and caved
A sorry soul that loneliness saved
Love isn't about you baby
It isn't about me
Open your curtains, take a peek at the trees
It's deeper than we'll ever be able to see
I loved you more 
Than love allowed me to
I paid for that
And so did you

You want to know why I left?
Ask the sun why it sets
