So much on my mind lately
Don't even know how to define it relevantly
Or type it poetically
I just keep thinking
and drinking
I'm begging and pleading
Please just give me what I'm needing
I don't ask for much
But I expect a lot
That doesn't make any sense at all
Who am I trying to fool
I'm wrong
You're right
You always have something to say and
I've become solemnly silent these days
I've spoke it, wrote it, and showed it all
There is no more of me I've left to give
I'm wore out and tired as can be
My mind is heavy
My heart is hurting
My body for you is yearning
I have wants and needs too
Just the same as you
I try to fulfill your wants and needs
Apparently at that I don't succeed
What is there left for me to do
I'm starting to give up on you
Say something poetic to me
Make me feel special again
Open my tired eyes so that I can see
Whisper I'm beautiful in my ear
And tell me "you're right here"
Touch me so I feel it in my soul
Love me back to feeling whole
What has happened to you and I
Neither one of us lately even try
When did the fire burn out
And leave us with piles of doubt
I can't live like this
That's not fair to me or you
What am I suppose to do
Please tell me how this story ends
Explain to me how I start over again
When I've never felt anything more real
Now I'm not sure how to feel
I don't want to do this one more day
It's taking all I have left in my heart to stay...
