How do you know?
That you’ve gone too far
That enough is enough
That you’re creating a scar
How do you know?
Where to draw the line
When the road should end
When to leave it behind
How do you know?
If it’s not meant to be
If it’s going to hurt
It’s so tempting
How do you know?
That you’re strong enough
That you have what it takes
To say no or to bluff
How do you know?
You never do.
And you can’t stop –
Even if you should.
I wanted to say
I hope you’re ok
And I understand
Why
I wanted to say
I hope nothing’s changed
And I know you’re not
Lying
I wanted to say
I’ve fallen for you
And you’ve kept me
Smiling
I wanted to say
Not to give up on us
I think we should keep
Trying
I wanted to say
The pressure is off
No more rules or
Expectations
I wanted to say
All is not lost
There’s no need for
Directions
I wanted to say
Take time and space
And I’ll be here
Waiting
I wanted to say
I miss you every day
But I’ll just be
Patient
I wanted to say
All these things
But the right words –
I can’t find them
I want to say
What you won’t say
Now we both remain
Silent.
Allow the sun to set
Allow the sun to rise
Don’t chase after the clouds
The beauty in the skies
Allow the moon to rise
Allow the moon to set
Don’t keep counting stars
The dark will become light again.
Let’s play a game called, “Let’s not play”
All you gotta do is say what you mean –
mean what you say
Because real and genuine
it doesn’t exist now ‘a days
So I’m calling “Bullshit” as I walk away.
I’ll tell you if you want to know
I’ll show you if you want to see
I’d wait for you if you asked me to
I’d love you if you let me
I’ll answer if you need one
I’ll take you if you want to go
I’d make it happen if you needed it to
I’d try to move on if you told me to do so
I’ll apologize even though you’re at fault
I’ll take the full blame for it too
I’ll beg and plead just to end the silence
I’d do whatever it took just to see you
We could make this work if you wanted
We could be us if ‘us’ sounds good to you
We could laugh and be really happy together
We could, we can and we should too
So, I’d tell you if you wanted to know
I’d show you if you wanted to see
I’ll wait for you if you ask me to
I’ll love you if you let me.
