A scar fading
It’s really like an old scar
No at all a threat,
Which tingles on occasion,
When I’m cold or sick or wet,
It causes no real pain,
It’s loss is not enduring,
But like an old scar,
The memory still clinging,
which only time diminishes,
And two events finishes.

Should I let you go when the going gets tough,
When the distance makes nothing, seem like enough
When even our talking, talking seems rough,
Should I let you go, even though,
I once thought the world of you?

Should I let you go when our friendship seems rotten,
When I think all it was, was fluff and cotton,
When I come to feel it best forgotten?
Should I let you go, based on this feeling,
That I may come to regret?

Should I let you go when there’s nothing left to talk of,
When I’ve been persuaded out of love,
When I no longer think “us” fits like a glove,
Should I let you go, because the memories almost hurt,
And I want to get on with my life?

Should I forsake you to this cold world,
Where we rarely find people to love us?

Like a flag lowered
At the end of the day,
Folded and put away,
Is this part of my heart.

Like a book lying on a table,
Long since read,
That part is dead.

My colors don’t snap gaily in the breeze,
Nor am I overcome by a sense of adventure,
Impatient to turn the page.

Oh God, don’t let me die a thousand deaths again,
After one break I thought I was stronger,
Stronger than this,
But my eyes are only clearer,
And foolish stares me down.
Lock my heart up safe, O Lord,
Put it where it cannot fall,
Into a pool of pointless tears.

The weak part of my heart,
Calls your name to me on the shore,
Now high and dry, where I don’t love you anymore
I’ll never love you like I used to,
No, I’ll never love you like I used to.
The weak will take offense,
But my mind is made up,
And my stomach no longer tense,
I’ll never love you like I used to,
No, I’ll never love you like I used to,
I’ll never dance in the waves like that again,
Or be pulled under in a storm,
I’ll play in the sand, or dance in deep for my Lord,
Because I’ll never love you like I used to,
No, I won’t love you again.
I’ll never love you like I used to,
I’ll never love you like I used to
