I’m feeling very distressed and confused
I don’t recognize these feelings and I don’t know what to do with them
All I know to do is write it down
No one has been able to make me feel better
And everyone tells me to walk away
I don’t like these feelings, I don’t like where they’re going
All I want is support and happiness
None of which is being given to me
The one person I need to contact is out of reach
I am a mess and I have to work through it on my own
I’ve pushed everyone away because I’ve been let down
It’s been a tough recovery, and I am going crazy
I need something good to happen
I need some good news
I need a good reason to let go and leave it behind
That reason has not revealed itself to me yet
I wish I could let it go, I wish I could let Alex go
I don’t know how to let him go
I’ve tried, again and again I’ve tried
I don’t know why I keep hanging on
I guess it’s because I have never known that kind of love before
And when it’s the love you’ve been asking for all your life
It’s not easy to walk away from
I wish I could take my friends advice and just walk away
I am not angry with him, so I don’t have a reason to walk away
He is not dating anyone, so I have no reason to walk away
I can love again, but it won’t be as awesome as that
I am not afraid to love again, I just know it won’t come anywhere near as awesome
They say we only get one perfect love, I lost mine
My perfect love was taken away from me
And now I am expected to just walk away
Your perfect love is the hardest thing to walk away from
