Caught In The Middle

          Caught in the middle
          Of a love affair that is not my own
          Torn apart by two lovers
          Meant to be together forever

          As a third person in the story
          I wish I could control it
          Telling him to go to her
          Telling her to go to him

          I know his heart's out to save
          him from the pain a relationship may give him
          I know her heart is breaking
          For him her heart is aching
          I wish I could get the back together

          Is time and distance their friend or foe?
          Who knows the truth, no one knows
          All they want is to be together
          All they want is to never be apart

          Yet life is keeping them apart
          Making sure its hardening their heart
          Love seem to be fading away

          Caught in the middle
          Of a love affair that is not my own
          I just don't want it to be gone…

Writer's note:
"Caught In The Middle," "Be In Your Memories," "Meet Me In The Moonlight," and "Leaving This Century Behind" were all written after receiving a copy of my friends', Shawn and Laura, album, Project LMS around October 18, 2002. Call it inspiration.

"Caught In The Middle" - about being on the sidelines and seeing a relationship from it.
