I am not as strong
As you think I am Nor am I as brave I’m not kind or clever I just smile and wave I don’t know where I’m going And I have nothing to say I just have to keep moving So meet me on my way It would be nice To hold your hand And take you with me This could be something We both get to see But I don’t where I’m going I only know the way I just have to keep moving So come with me on my way I can say no to anyone but you
Places I don't want to go People I don't want to see Things I don't want to do If you want me to Because I can say no to anyone but you You believe
That people are weak That no one is brave That people can't change And you believe That pain is pride That hurt could help That the sky will die But I believe That I could fly So high, so high So far away To somewhere safe To somewhere free Where we could be Just you and me -- Inspired by Above the Clouds - Amies Don't get comfortable
Even though the bed is warm This is not your home Sleep on the floor Or sleep in your car Because this is not your home You're not welcomed You're not loved Remember you're all alone Your arms are empty The world is cold You're doomed to roam Don't ask him to come He won't want to He'll also leave you alone He'll always leave you alone You'll always be alone You'll never find a home You like make-believe and butterflies? No.
You don't want to believe in what you know. Pretend we're happy so long as I smile, Though, it feels like I've died for a while. You don't care, you won't care. I know that truth. Because I know I mean nothing to you. You can pretend, I know that you will Keep going to see how long it takes to heal. It was clear now that you didn't love me.
In love you can't be as mean as you'd be. You demanded all of me without words, And expected me to know what you'd need. If I was wrong, or forgot you'd leave me Empty so I'd run to meet your decree. You'd know exactly how to make me beg To give you one of my arms and a leg. Sip me, drink me dry. Take all of my heart And leave me to die. Just tear me apart. It's not like you were one to be polite. I'll know you'll get what you want anyway. You wanted all of me and gave nothing. I'm not your queen, but you're my tyrant King. Keep me tied up and lonely, on a string.
No real love, no happiness. Just fake Empty gestures for me to cling on to, Handing out enough to keep me coming. I often wonder why I stay around. You don't ask me to stay. You don't care if I go. You wouldn't see if I fell off a cliff I think that here there no love I found. I like to think so. I hope and I pray. But I deceive myself in my own words. I could go have a meeting with the birds, I might go tell them that I'm not okay. But you want me to play and keep smiling. You like games, and I'm good at pretending. You left me to feel abandoned alone.
But why care for the girl you say you love. As if in your heart I was nothing of. That's how it felt when you spoke in that tone. You smiled and said " it doesn't matter," You might as well have said I don't either. This woman, whose rug you pulled from beneath her Eyes closed, I hit the floor with a splatter Dare not look, dare not see, my pain building, The ache was piling up inside of me. But if I looked more painful it would be. I laid blindfully, eyes closed and stinging. My head hung low. I looked as though I died. My eyes hurt. Swollen with tears I have cried. I had high hopes for you. Maybe too high.
I don't expect a prince. I don't want one. But to hold my heart like the moon and sun. Don't praise, but cherish my loving supply. To make me feel wanted, that's all I'll need. But you seem so thoughtless. At least of me. Don't you ever wonder what we could be If you just took the time to plant a seed? I really don't think I'm asking too much. Are you scared? Are you hiding? Open up! Need me! I have enough to fill your cup. If all it is you need is just my touch. I beg that you spare me some attention. Even pretend that I hold your affections... |
