It's Hard to Understand


I hold on tight And your wings take flight. As I try to hold on You're already almost gone. Life is what you make it But sometimes it's hard to take it. When you get left behind Who's left to hear me rhyme? Left alone in the sand Reaching out my hand. Trying to find the place where they belong Intertwined with yours alone. You say it's for the best But your intentions aren't the test. You call me selfish But what's this? Your the one who gets your way And I'm left alone and a stray. So talk about being greedy Always saying I'm so needy. I guess you don't listen Or you'd know why I'm always missing. While my past hasn't been the best You gave me light and zest. But now you tear me apart And leave me lying open heart. Crushed by the falling ice As the weather just started to seem nice. So I'm sorry if I'm a pest But really I'm just a mess. As I try to hold on and tighten my grip I want you to hold me and not let me slip. And let me fly with you So I don't have to miss you. But your so intent On leaving this instant. While breaking my heart Oh your so smart... Don't leave me in the dark It might leave a mark. So please don't leave me Fight and stay with me... Stay on the ground And don't let me drown.
