Long Long Time

I was going to be there for a long long time Or at least until you said Goodbye Beyond hurts, "hurt" don't even begin How the devil so easily and quickly came out of my main friend And you set me free By making me feel like I was in chains I started to lift your fog And learned to use my brains Then I realized it was my heart speaking That my mind didn't belong anywhere The feelings are the language of the soul Now for that, even over true love, I began to care And so many things are being given My Lord's presents almost daily I've been receiving You looked like an open door, but this whole time was just a small crack It took too long to know, but at least in getting to see the truth now I don't lack There are so many things that I don't care about That are all other people see There are so many things that have sunken into the side of my heart Forever to remain and just be The good things are now clinging to me Without me having to put them on weird chains to stay I learned its what I don't have to do, not what I do have to do I just let go, gave it to Him, and said to anything and everything just "Okay" The simple things are where the Gold is at You don't see it until you learn to accept I was holding onto what I thought mattered most Only to see it was taking up extra space & I should've never kept
