Admit To Myself
Admit To Myself
By Roy Merritt
The air is cold against my skin as I stand here on the street
Waiting at the place where you said we should meet
But looking at my watch I can see that you are late
It dissolves all my dreams confirming my fate
And I stand hopelessly silent I don’t know what to do
But admit to myself that our love is through
Admit to myself its over at last
Its died forever had its last gasp
Its died forever like my soul within
And never will we love each other again
What became of our love I fail to understand
Why it faded like water rolling over the sand
Why like a ghost it disappeared into the night
Like a bird it took wing and sailed into flight
And I stand hopelessly silent I don’t know what to do
But admit to myself that our love is through
Admit to myself its over at last
Its died forever its had its last gasp
Its died forever like my soul within
And never will we love each other again
I may love another someday down the line
I may though now in sorrow and painful decline
I may do so or never at all
but this pain I’m feelin’
I shan’t ever forestall
And I stand hopelessly silent I don’t know what to do
But admit to myself that our love is through
Admit to myself its over at last
Its died forever its had its last gasp
Its died forever like my soul within
And never will we love each other again
So I turn from this spot move slowly down the street
Seeing no one my eyes fixed on my feet
I don’t want them to see me or tears that I shed
Or hear the prayers I’m praying wishing I were dead
And I stand hopelessly silent I don’t know what to do
But admit to myself that our love is through
Admit to myself its over at last
Its died forever its had it last gasp
Its died forever like my soul within
And never will we love each other again
So I push on to my home empty cold and dark
With a pain like a dagger plunged deep into my heart
With tears slowly flowing washing over my face
I sit in dread misery in this empty place
And I stand hopelessly silent I don’t know what to do
But admit to myself that our love is through
Admit to myself its over at last
Its died forever its had it last gasp
Its died forever like my soul within
And never will we love each other again
Never will we love each other again
Never to ever love each other again
