It hurts me every time

I say it’s not true

Cause there’s never been anything

That’s meant more to me than you


And every time I close my eyes

You’re right there, in the back of my mind

But you’re always out of reach

Oh, will you always be out of reach?


Maybe the moment I’m waiting for

Is right around the corner, right next door

But I’m tired of waiting for this moment

Oh, when will I just have a moment


For, you and me, me and you

Just living life like we used to

Whenever a door would open

We’d run through


But now I’m just staring at any empty wall

We’re surrounded by empty walls

Waiting for, you and me, me and you

To be able to live like we used to


They told us not to say a word

And we became two caged lovebirds

But as long as we have each other

I’m willing to fight for you, brother


Key in the lock

Not gonna stop

I’ll forgive you now

As long as you let us wow the crowds


When they hear about, you and me, me and you

Living like we used to

Whenever a door would open

We’d run through

 

We’re staring at an empty wall

We’re surrounded by these empty walls

You built these walls

You built these walls


It’s your fault, it’s your fault

We’re looking at these four corners

Why didn’t you warn us?

We’d be searching for a way out

Trying to find a way to talk about


You and me, me and you

Living like we used to

When it was just

You and me, me and you

Oh, you and me, me and you

Hey, beautiful people! I wrote from the point of view of someone else because I've been going through a tough time and didn't have the heart to write a song about anything too personal right now. I'll let you know if anything I write is about me though. Remember you're loved!

I love how well you kept it nice and organized while keeping it steady and how you show how friendly you are.
Maybe one thing you could do also is to add a little bit more rhyme to it.
