This is why I don't get involved
Why there's so many unread texts
and phones uncalled
Why I never say forever
Or take a chance to just see
Because at the end of the day all I have is me.
Why am I here??
When you're so far away
I asked you one million times if I should stay
And the answer is always yes
But I'm starting to believe
The person that you wish I was is not
what you see
The person that you wish I was
is someone far away
A broken dream and broken heart
still show up in display
Of the place that I now occupy
And I see it clear as day
That wall you've built around yourself
Just might be here to stay
Am I here because I'm warm?
Do I keep the shadows out?
From the dark corners of your mind
That you have yet to climb your way out
You're still dangling
Suspended in a time of almost were
Praying for a rope or ladder to bring
your heart some help and cure
From all the anger and the sadness
Yes I know I've felt it too
When the dream you had is gone
cause it was meant to be for two
But that other half no longer has
a place inside your plan
And you're forced to move on with your life
To be the better (wo)man
You say you're ready for transition
Ready to begin again
But each path that's traveled only
comes to yet another end
So your feet they back track
To begin the road again
Thinking that this time it's
guaranteed
The coast is finally clear
But you still hear shadows echoing
once again
Why am I here??
