Just a Fool

I'm just a fool who writes words on a page and dreams of singing on a stage but to no avail someday I'll set sail and yet- he stares at me like everything's a freakin' fantasy and I am left with this aching in my heart Cause I know I'll tear him apart Why do you do this to me? This isn't an everyday fantasy Stop pretending we could've been together long For you and I- we don't belong Now I feel like I'm ranting to nobody A whispering to an evergreen tree that doesn't know my name or from where I came and yet- something peaceful stirs among the 'pokies' and sticky burrs happy memories that even now can make me smile and let me hold on to him for awhile Oh why do I have to be this way? I should've moved on to a brighter day I need to stop pretending my life is full of misery I know you're stronger than me
