The People You Love Don't Have to Love You


Some men are kings and
Some men are toys
Some will send boys to war

You can have all things
And always want more
There always will be another answer

In you I see an ocean calm
A sun that never ends
A winter where no foot will tread

Oh what say you now?
Just do what you do
And the people you love don’t have to love you


I ask how you've been
And where you will go
And I feel like the one who was gone

You speak about lifetimes
You say it’s been years
And you still ain’t so clear where you belong

You say you’re unstoppable
And going all the way
The stars or the grave or somewhere new

And you’ll think of me
A little someday
And the people you love don’t have to love you

It feels like the earth
Forgot how to spin
And this mind has been somewhere else

Today I walked miles
New dreams in the air
It's raining and I don't even care

And what if I've been doing it wrong
And I'm fine
And I'll keep whatever is true

Oh you are the sweetest
I’ve known in some time
But the people you love don’t have to love you
