Is ego simply doubt?

I dare to think so

So in love

I've fallen in love a lot of times

And a loss less than I could have

If I would have let myself 

And I'm telling you

That all it takes is one look

To kill your love (in the others eyes)

One of those looks......that says

"I don't accept you as you are"

"I don't accept you for who you are"

(Perhaps even a) 

"So you need to change

If you expect my love"

And

I know because 

I've been on both sides of that dilemma 

And I don't know

I don't have a solution for that

Some grand gesture perhaps

Some grand plan

To make it all right again

It can be as little as the right touch

At the right time

Or as far as

going and doing 

Beyond just the extraordinary

Even if just this one time

So that while you sometimes simply can't take it back

You also can not let yourself forget 

That you've got to start somewhere
