We know how things could turn from bad to worse
And besides we know how a word can cause remorse
But where we frequently fail and hurt the one’s we love
Is the way we defend ourselves and how we back off
Someone told me these are things we’ll learn
But I’m not, I’m not as sure as I would like to be
Will it ever change?
Or will it stay the same?
A safe distance between
We know how we stand up to someone else
And we all learned how we become the one on top
But where we frequently fail and hurt the one’s we love
Is the way we defend ourselves and how we back off
We don’t want to give up our bastion and let it fall
Because we are afraid how vulnerable we could become
Will it ever change?
Or will it stay the same?
A safe distance between
