Jeffrey Spencer Poet Lyric

Crossroads

Crossroads

I woke up this morning with a question on my mind
What the Hell am I going to do with my life
I am sleeping on a futon in the basement at a friend’s
All because I fell out of love

     I didn’t want to hurt her and I would never leave
     But I’m not surprised that she asked me to go
     I didn’t mean to hurt her or make her feel deceived
     But I wasn’t happy and each day it showed
     No, I wasn’t happy
     And each day, another crossroads

I woke up, got out of bed, and moved on through the day
I wish I had some words for her, but I can’t explain
We are two different people, with two different ways
And two different maps, lead to different places

     I didn’t want to hurt her and I would never leave
     But I’m not surprised that she asked me to go
     I didn’t mean to hurt her or make her feel deceived
     But I wasn’t happy and each day it showed
     No, I wasn’t happy
     And each day, another crossroads

          I’m coming to a crossroads, another burning bridge
          I’m living in the crosshairs, the enemy within
          The victim is the saboteur; the saboteur shan’t win
          I am my own worst enemy, the enemy within
          I am my own worst enemy

Now, days and weeks and months have past; and here I am alone
She may have put the blame on me, but the fault is not my own
I know I need to find someone, to share and make new dreams
But, first I need to find myself (and love me, for me)
I know I must forgive myself (and love me, for me)
I know I need to love my….  Self

          I’m coming to a crossroads, another burning bridge
          I’m living in the crosshairs, the enemy within
          The victim is the saboteur; the saboteur shan’t win
          I am my own worst enemy, the enemy within
          I am my own worst enemy

When I woke up this morning, my decision has been made
No longer will I live like this; it’s time that something changed
I know I need to find someone, to share and make new dreams
But, first I need to find myself (and love me, for me)
I know I must forgive myself (and love me, for me)
I know I need to love my…. self

     And find someone….
		That loves me….  For….  Me

Becca Teagan August 16, 2017 at 11:12 AM yes... this is how it should be. we can't love others very well, until we learn to love ourselves. Wonderful lyrics, Jeffrey, I think it will make an awesome song.
