hard to breathe


Hard to breathe

Weird to touch

Acting normal

Thinking too much

 

Trying hard

To figure out

Moving forward

Engulfed in doubt

 

Don't look back

Too much pain

And in fact

Nothing to gain

 

Filled with knots

Wasted time

A penny for my thoughts

I deserved a dime

 

Who's to say what's true

I never said I was right

Guess I never knew

It's not worth the fight

 

Thikning about before

Don't know who I was

Could have closed the door

There'd never been an 'us'

 

Said you would stay

Promised you could

Chose to walk away

I knew you would

 

Everything was fine

Said we'd never part

Knew it was a lie

But gave you my heart

 

I'll take the blame

I've always known

I played your game

Now I'm alone

 

I know you know

There's more to give

You were a stepping stone

I have a life to live

 

Hard to love

Weird to trust

Acting typical

Think it was lust
