Don't Move The Line

Five years ago, I was everything you wanted. Now you move the line every time I get upon it. No don’t move the line on me. Don’t move the line on me. I was enough when you chose me. Don’t move the line on me. If your love changed, say it honestly. Don’t move the line on me. You can walk away. You can let me be. But you can’t make your change a flaw in me. If you wanna leave, then leave don’t move the line on me. Oh, what you want me to be, I’ll never be. Not if being loved means losing pieces of me. Oh, what you want me to see, I’ll never see: something wrong with the man you once wanted beside you. Same laugh, same hands, same heart underneath. Why is the man you loved back then the man you cannot keep? Every time I reach it, you redraw the line. Everything you cherished now needs a redesign. Tell me what went missing. Tell me what you see. When did loving who I am become changing me? I was enough when you chose me. Don’t move the line on me. If your love changed, say it honestly. Don’t move the line on me. You can walk away. You can let me be. But you can’t make your change a flaw in me. If you wanna leave, then leave don’t move the line on me. Don’t move it. Don’t move it. Don’t move the line on me. I didn’t miss it. You just shifted what you wanted me to be. Let’s call it what it is. Maybe we grew apart. Maybe you were changing while I guarded what we are. But every time the feeling fades, you hand me one more fix, like I could earn your old love back if I changed enough to fit. You circle every difference, underline every doubt. Tell me I’m not growing when you’re looking for a way out. If you don’t want the man you chose, I can take that honestly. Just don’t make me hate myself to make your leaving easy. You don’t owe me forever. I don’t owe you a disguise. If the love is gone, don’t dress it up like I’m the reason why. You can tell me that it’s over. You can say you need to leave. But don’t turn your change of heart into a problem inside me. Oh, what you want me to be I’ll never be. I was enough when you chose me. Don’t move the line on me. If your love changed, say it honestly. Don’t move the line on me. You can walk away. You can let me be. But you can’t make your change a flaw in me. If you wanna leave, then leave don’t move the line on me. I was enough. I’m still enough. Don’t move the line on me. I was enough. I’m still enough. Don’t move the line on me. I didn’t miss the mark. You moved it.
