Used to be friends
And now we’re lovers
Can’t decide
Which beats the other…

Confused
Cos what if I lose you?
But how could I choose you?
If I can’t be sure…

I love you
That's for sure
But that ain’t enough
Cos things get tough
And I bottle up
My feelings
Helpless
Defeated
Can’t seem to find no meaning
It’s eating
Me

The full version to one I've already posted on here.
Oh how time flies!!!
Some lyrics I had written to try and put my feelings on blast when I knew no other way how to. Crazy how it’s been 3 years + and I still remember this day like it was yesterday. I can even picture the exact moment I was writing and then singing this. This heartbreak almost killed me. Haha little did I know!!! I love reminiscing, for more reasons than one but the main one being that it helps put things into perspective. It’s so easy to feel stuck. To not notice any change and beat yourself up for feeling like you’ve not taken any steps but looking back on things like this show me just how far I’ve come. Just how much I’ve grown. How much my heart has healed. Even when it doesn't feel like it. It’s almost like a personal growth tracker. To show you that life does move on and things get better.

I remember being so consumed by my feelings around this time. Do I give in? Let go? Give up? I thought I’d never feel anything else. But I do. Deeply. Though new feelings consume me from time to time, the old ones are at rest (usually) and on the days they resurface, I have new strength to deal with them now. Things change. Feelings fade.
Just like that.
