'In A Minute' 10-3-2010

In a minute!

I promise

In a minute I'll

Log off

Shut down

I really will...

In a minute

I'll stand up

I'll stop thinking about you

I'll stop feeling sorry for myself

I'll return from the Land of What Might Have Been

(Because it's not softening the pain I feel

When Reality sets back in)

I'll forget nothing happened

I'll pretend I'm over it

I'll stop caring

I'll stop wanting

I'll quit being a wet blanket

I'll steal my heart back from you

In a minute?

I'll still be alone.

Another minute

Going. . .

Going. . .

Gone.
