listening to Ne-yo
"what am I gonna do with forever now?"
how
will I breathe?
every breath that I take
with every move I make
it's feeling more and more like I'm making the same mistakes.
because I breathe in
and I think of- of him
again
the memories
they get the best of me
kill me slowly
painfully
I ask again:
how will I breathe?
we've already established well enough that I can't see
maybe love can blind you
pain does the same but it also has more damage to do
pain targets my memories
the ones that get the best of me
tear apart the rest of me
force me to hold on and cry
lest I
forget
the good times
each and every morning's sunrise
every time I opened my eyes
to see the guy I thought
was the one for me
he and I are one
and the same
though he took all of my pain
away
every
single
day.
but every sweet and romantic kiss, every soothing touch...
it was a lie.
now all I can do is try
not to cry
I
sit and sigh
stare at the sky
wondering a simple thing
yet it is so complex indeed:
why did he come into my life and hurt me?
why didn't he just stay the hell away, and let me be?
why did I choose to let him in?
now I'm stuck with torment I can't describe-
would you like me to begin?
I mean, I
can try...
it's like having your heart ripped open then
sewing it shut
yet you still can't stop the fact that you care-
is this too much?
I mean, to care
though he is elsewhere.
yet... not so far away
because it would take me less than a day
to reach him
if I wanted to
it is something I could do.
this pain
is worse than I thought it would be
never before had I let someone this
close to me...
forever I'll be
wondering why...
