My heart is hating me
Because it wants someone to love
And I'm afraid to try it again
To relive the same pain that tore me up
My soul is vacating me
Because it doesn’t want to be alone
But there is no one around
That I could call my own
My life is draining from me
Seeping slowly away
With every tear that falls
I slip further down this way
My mind is leaving me
Because the pain is too prominent
Embedded deep down inside
No way to get rid of it
And in this…
Help me understand
That I still stand on solid ground
Help me realize
That what I’m feeling is profound
To determine the distinction
Between what I know and need
The lines that separate them
Are often so blurry to me
Soon you’ll realize
The mistake that you made
You’ll come back to me
But I’ll be too far away
You’ll cry for me to come back
And I’ll say it’s too late
You should have been there for me
Instead of giving up and going away
You’ll say that I never loved you
Because I’m not there for you now
Realize that I did love you
But I’m just over it this time around
You’ll beg and you you’ll plead
Please, you can’t do this to me
I’ll say I’m sorry, I can’t help you
And you’ll walk away from me
I’ll watch as you leave
And wonder what I just did
Hope that it was right
And you’ll understand it
And in this…
I will understand
That I still stand on solid ground
I will realize
That what I feel is profound
I’ll determine the distinction
Between what I know and need
The lines that separate them
Will become clear to me
