what keeps me up at night in addressing the public

there were a lot of things wrong with us
but what keeps me up at night
is the ways that we were right

and i couldn’t give you up
with a spark of hope inside
i had to wait until it died

and that wasn’t very kind of me

i could find plenty reason
to not wish you the best
to blame you for all this mess

but i saw a world with you
that i never thought i’d see
i made a trade to keep the peace

but i couldn’t bend my shape forever

i may have sufficient reason
to hate you but i don’t
to forget you but i won’t

for we both played a game
i realized it too late
a gamble with our fate

that love could overcome things it was never meant to
