Trying to Make it Home
I asked you to let me go,
Instead you cast me out to sea.
Even after I told you I didn't know how to swim,
You didn't make a move, even as I struggled to breathe.
It isn't your ghost that haunts me,
It's you in the flesh.
How I long for the memories to drown out your voice,
You're not listening, you don't give me a choice.
I asked you to let me go.
Please listen, leave me alone.
You'd pulled me on the path.
Now I want to go home.
Instead you cast me out to sea.
Even after I told you I didn't know how to swim,
You didn't make a move, even as I struggled to breathe.
It isn't your ghost that haunts me,
It's you in the flesh.
How I long for the memories to drown out your voice,
You're not listening, you don't give me a choice.
I asked you to let me go.
Please listen, leave me alone.
You'd pulled me on the path.
Now I want to go home.
Days of the Past
Laying awake at night,
You are out of sight.
Even though you're not out of mind yet,
I won't allow it to take any of the strength I have left.
Can't help feeling tired from all the time wasted on you,
Now I'm getting strong, feeling better from the trouble you put me through.
I dreamt of you the other day and now it's faded away,
You're not my sun, I'm not your moon and that's okay.
There were days we hoped, days we loved,
We weren't right, not worth fighting for.
Tomorrow is full of more hope than you could've ever given me,
It took parting ways to realize who I could be.
You are out of sight.
