A Different Point of View

To once have a love
and then throw it all away
knowing she will never be replaced
But I'm staying on shore
not venturing in again
keeping my mind focused on other things
How can I find another just as sweet?
But fearing the day she'll never come back
Just keep looking straight past
straight past
because hey the heart is treacherous
who can know it
So I'll keep it to myself
and not give it to another
Even though I'm being pulled 
in many different directions
but making sure my words and actions are in the right place

GOING THRU THE SAME THING AT THE MOMENT AS EXPRESSED IN THESE LINES"So I'll keep it to myself and not give it to another Even though I'm being pulled in many different directions but making sure my words and actions are in the right place" So I'll keep it to myself and not give it to another Even though I'm being pulled in many different directions but making sure my words and actions are in the right place
