Answers in front of you
Words left unspoken, unsaid
Mixed signals still vibrant
Running rampant inside your head
Let it go
Take the words and move on
See this for what it's worth
And realize it's all wrong.
Obsession and excuses
Just to fill the void
Tell yourself it's ok,
Your heart is just a toy
People play and make fun
They can't see it's broken and cracked
From things that have happened
In a long time passed
You search for vengeance,
For recompense
Trying to right all the wrongs
To have it all make sense
There's a consequence
From loving too much
From not loving yourself
Depression, diseases and such
The familiarity
A daunting, yearning abyss
Making the different
So easy to dismiss
To overlook.
The answers are there, in your past
It's up to you to search
And try to create something that will last
After years of living
The same way only to find that you have to change
The way you've been living is unhealthy
But everything else seems strange
And foreign
How do you take what's important,
The relationships you've built
And then learn you have to ignore it?
Because
The way you've been living is wrong
And after a time
The one you loved is gone
Just because you fit
Doesn't make it good
That's the part that's missing
That's so easily misunderstood
You need something
Despite what happened as a child
Find something different
Be daring, be wild
Start chasing
What's good for you
Don't worry about him
And what it is you can do.
Loving too much
Can only bring you down
Stop thinking about their smile
And take a look at your own frown
Think of why
Someone so beautiful
Wouldn't be good enough
And remains miserable
Turn it around
This is your life
Live for yourself,
Forget your strife
Love you
There's no need to take cover
The one who is worth it
Would never consider another
Lift up your chin
And look at the light
The darkness is over
But be prepared to fight
For yourself
And for what you deserve
Your faith will be tested
And it might make you swerve
Never give up
And stop thinking you need to pick up the slack
You've discovered your problem
Now there's no turning back.
