Angry To Let Go

Tell me I'm wrong 
About my previous song
Because my brain is stuck on
It everyday & all day long

Stuck thinking of you
Don't know what to do
It's getting harder to view
Over the horizon with you
Since I've known you: I grew
And learned to bust through
Some insecurities but few
Have remained or started anew
The words in my vocabulary are few
And by far too limited, too
Sing my thoughts -I'll learn some new
Make'm rhyme but still, songs go askew  
They get repetitive and overdue
Messed up like a person who
Can take a heart and tear it in two
Then come back and try to woo
That same person who's true
And who'd fallen for you 

But no matter how many I learn
I could will never explain
The more for you, I yearn
The more it causes me pain

Its not even close to being nice
yes, I rhymed "you" in this song twice

But it doesn't matter
Looks like I struck out
So bring up your next batter
So I can hurry and get the f*ck out

And take with me my dignity 
& whatever's left of my masculinity 
Or the pieces of my identity
For this love didn’t go on to infinity 

People ask why I write these songs
why they're so full of pain & sorrow
This song just like the others belongs
On paper, you get another tomorrow

Or maybe tonight
They just fall out of my head
I see my head isn't right
They appear when I am in bed

How about i write a verse about
A man thats walks under a cloud
Whatever he does or where he may go
The cloud is soaking him head to toe

Forced to live his life in rage
But if you see the message
Its the same song on a previous page

Or how about a song of a unicorn
That's a happier subject of course
Until you realize the thought is torn
Cuz it's nothing more than a horse

Or a vision of fantasy
It took a lot for this man to see
That no matter the weather
If I let go of you;
I’ll be better
