A Ditch Called Abandon

Sometimes it's as if I still don't know That I have to let you go As hard as parting the sea So too shall this challenge me Is it something I can do? Learn to just stop loving you? Learn to put myself first In famine, flood and thirst I've taken great joy in giving to you I see now how little it has to do With how someone can love And place you far above Any problem or desire For eventually people tire They move on And leave you standing in your own abandon
