Cliff Hanger

I don't want to know what you think of me Am I your hero or am I you misery Every step I take is another reminder That you're nothing but my biggest desire Spent all day setting up a picnic for two Ended up sitting alone downing my booze How could I had thought we were meant to be You did nothing but infect this perfect reality Abandon all ships for the sake of love The last thing I want is a plus one with her drug On the edge of the no named rye cliff Is where my heart belongs on this trip I'm as useless as a horse with no legs What else is new, I'm just like a needle in the hay I've held on to your words of the past I guess it's true that the nice guy finishes last We talked and we walked in the prairie of life You were a reason that I wanted to get lost I could taste the poison from the human mind You were the only one that could spin me blind Tomorrow is the day I would feel alive But that's a nice memory that will pass me by I'll never have the joy or smile What's this game?, I'll be gone for awhile I wonder if I'm running through your thoughts Turning the pages without the power to stop I'm running away from everything I've known All you have to know is that I'm better off on my own

About that Cliff, please do not stand so close... You are chancing it... I'm just kidding. I like this one,, the spin you blind part was pretty cool, that part reminds me of pin the tail on the donkey. Only cause once you are going in circles, you don't know which way to go--feeling all lost. Love is never fun, when one keeps you hanging on. Letting go is a good thing... Super enjoyed.. LINDA
