Looking to the left
Looking to the right  
As I walk out the door
I have been each way before
Lord knows, I have seen it all before
Sadly so much I have ignored
My m.o. has been to run away
I never stay
So much strength it took for me to say
Risk, I never take at all
Time and time again, I fall
Consistently hitting my head against the wall
I have never learned with life and love you need to crawl
I am never in it for the long haul
Love should be above it all
I am so far apart from my heart  
It ends before it starts
My mind, my heart, it outsmarts
I never look back
Is it compassion that I lack?
The reason all my loves I highjack
and attack to keep me on the fast track  
Now that another ends
and fades away
I find myself
Again
Looking to the left
Looking to the right

Love nowhere near  
Here
