Afraid of Losing What I Don'T
I can't seem to cry (oh oh)
my feelings are absorbed by my fear
Unable to feel or express what i wan to feel
I wonder like a refugee
at once upon a time i was in control of me
now everything is out of my hands
Who knows who/what goes on inside of a heart that does not feel
a mind that does not think
eyes that don't see clearly and ears that only hear the contrary
where did i go
my love, my smile
my reason for being
everything and everyone doesn't seem to matter as much as they did in the past
I'm afraid to love or trust again
because the things i once trusted turned against me
paper remains blank
my thoughtless mind is unable to display anything
my weary fingers cannot write not even what i want to feel or think
I walk away from manner
ignoring what i really want
because i'm afraid of losing what i don't
