Going Through the Motions

A momentary lapse of reason

Has brought me back to you

Even though I'll always know

The hurt you've put me through

 

With blinded eyes I come again

My heart won't let me leave

I can't deny the tears I cry

The evidence, on my sleeve

 

Doubt has now replaced the hope

That made my world worth while

Dread and fear will reappear

And steal away my smile

 

Like a puppet on a lonely stage

My strings are in your hands

I have no will to even feel

Just following your commands

 

Broken dreams your voice commands

My will no more my own

A lonely seed, a useless ****

That you alone have sown

 

I'm just going through the motions

Tired and feeling used

I tried today to stay away

But again, my heart refused
