Buried Alive

You buried me alive by your passionate fire You drowned my drive to fly by your desire I am the only one, surviving in this horrid wasteland I am barely breathing without you – so, take my hand Take this young heart, for I’m feeling numb You told me you can save me from anxiety You told me you can push away my fears You told me you can start believing in me You told me you can wipe away my tears At least understand where I’m coming from I remember you would hold me tight I remember I was your beloved kite You’ve turned into someone else – you’re not who I thought you were I realized that we were restless lovers…why are we still finding a cure? Longing and awaiting His incredible Kingdom And I thought I was living a dream Instead, I am shattering by the seams… Why do your eyes constantly beam? Oh, how my distraught heart screams! I’m a fighter, I’m a believer, and I’m a stronger person now somehow… You told me, you told me to stand tall You told me, you told me to be loyal Maybe, I shouldn’t listen to you anymore Wondering if you’re still the one I adore I’m a brave warrior, wandering in the broad valley…sweat on my brow… Please tell me something I do not know… I am speechless – you say nothing new… I take a bow, for it’s the end of our show I am miserable more or less – don’t know what to do… I hear you knocking on my front door, but I do not feel like answering it I hear you calling me on my phone, but I feel like ignoring it as I see fit Don’t know why we have miles between us Don’t know why the time goes by so fast Don’t know why we aren’t on the same bus Don’t know why I can’t let go of the past I’m the only one, buried alive by this love affair I am so breathless – tell me how we can play fair

And the answer is---there is no answer. It's the worst answer of all. How do we get control over this? It is not easy to move on, but we must find a way or it will ruin your time in the present. I wish there was a simple answer. I suppose it is that not all relationships are meant to be. It is no reflection on you. It's just that the chemistry wasn't right. It happens. The chemicals mixed together didn't react the way we wanted. So, we have to move on. Moving on is sweet.
