It’s become too much
The glass is full

What do you do?
When your heart isn’t were it belongs
When your feelings are no longer as strong
When you know your lies won’t last long
When you think your ok but couldn’t more wrong

With every drop I’m over flowing
Under its weight I’m drowning

What do you do?
When you feel you can’t go on
When the past is far from being gone
When you must let go to the brightest of dawns
When your painting isn’t what you’ve drawn

Can’t keep pretending, can’t go on
When all your is right is my wrong

I don’t want to let this all go
It’s the path I want to follow
But my denial is cutting me from bellow
I can’t hide from the secrets lurking in my shadow
As if the pain wasn’t enough to swallow
The truth will bring her to sorrow
All of this with no guaranty of a brighter tomorrow

Wrapped in confusion
Why can’t I resist change?
My head is spinning, it’s so insane

My heart craves the impossible
Makes my attempted happiness crumble
Until its needs fulfilled I’ll be unstable
Forever it’ll make me peruse the unattainable

What goes up must come down
Nothing stays buried forever
Everything changes but stays the same
It’s just the circle of life
You can fight but your only fighting yourself

So I’m walking on a fence knowing
Whatever side I fall on I will be hurt
May as well face the pain now
Before I get pushed to the ground
