Going through the motions of every day

Trying to make you all think I've changed my ways.

Living life stuck in this daze.

This maze.

 

How could you believe I changed my mind?

Have you met me? I'm not fine.

I don't believe I should even try

Not me. Not I.

 

All I've ever wanted to hear is what I tell you.

Yet no one gets the hint, they don't have a clue.

"Don't worry sweetie, it's nothing you do.

Would I lie to you?"

 

And as my fingers tremble with the ache of memories

I wish you were here to give my hand a squeeze.

If no one were around I'd drop to my knees

And Death I would plead.

After everything that's happened in the past few weeks, it's about time I turned it into something.
