It's only for a few months, he reminds me
sensing the brave face I was putting up
as I watched him pack to move out for a few months...
Arms never could hold heart-pieces in place
Bravado buckles in spite of intent
It is impossible to embrace
All that we longed for after it is spent
Love never did promise Easy Street
Though sometimes I kinda wish that it would
They say the bitter makes better the sweet
Later came sooner than I thought it could
You want a hug? He asks bashfully
I try to keep a brave smile on my face
But oh, my old heart gets the best of me
Arms never could hold heart-pieces in place
