Breathless
Rollercoaster of emotions
Shattered dreams, scattered devotions
An empty shell of someone that longs to be loved
That special someone that is sent from up above
One person’s selfish intentions to do nothing but lie
Another persons selfless intentions to turn, walk away and swallowing their pride
Knowing they will be the ones to lay down and cry
Now my tears will no longer fall
I can’t hold my head up, I feel so lonely and small
No one seems to see me
They just seem to leave me be
I’m the one that’s down on the floor
A broke down mess just like before
Judged upon for the way I look
My hopes and dreams that some just took
It’s not what’s on the outside, it’s what’s on the inside that counts
People would be amazed at the abundant amount
The love I have deep in my soul and within my heart
I have yet, however, to find that one to make a start
Most will never know my real true self
They will not ever receive compensation of all my loves wealth
So yeah kick me while I’m low
And then turn right around and leave just damn well go
I’ll be left here with my rollercoaster of emotions
Shattered dreams and broken devotions
An empty shell of someone that longs to be loved
And I wonder will I ever get my someone special sent from up above
I think sometimes the best of all the years have just passed right on by
Where have they gone I wonder with a sigh
But that don’t mean I’m not going to keep trying no matter how it leaves me restless
Because maybe just maybe I’ll find that one that will leave me breathless
