Day By Day
You can't tell someone they love you
I couldn't no matter what I tried to do
But the way you said it was over…seemed like you never did care
And in my heart the pain I could not bare
So in turn, to my wrist I took a blade
Now there's this huge mess I've made
Not a single way out
And you are all I can think about
Things have gotten so out of hand
Some I do, others I don't understand
Now here I am stuck in this place
All this time and confined space
Still for me it didn't take long
To know I went about this all wrong
And now I'm not sure how it'll all work out
Still some things I can't help but doubt
When we first met we felt a flame
Then when I got here on you I tried to place the blame
But it didn't take long for me to accept my shame
Knowing now once I leave things won't be the same
Not sure where that might leave the two of us
If when I leave I'll have a ride home or have to catch the bus
Either way one thing is for sure
After this I vow for things to be different and pure
Not really sure with what I'll start
Afraid of the trouble I could get into with my heart
But this much I do know
I'll take it one day at a time, take things slow
Try to get my life back on track
Cuz to this place I'll never come back
I never really wanted to die
Believe it or not that's not a lie
I just let my emotions get the best of me
But that's not who I am, now who I want to be
I am a young lady so strong
And in this place I don't belong
And now that I've taken a few steps back
My bags I am ready to pack
I haven't put a fight and curse
After all I've been thru far worse
And if I got thru that, I'll get thru this
In time there are things I will miss
But I know eventually I'll be okay
I just have to take it day by day!!!
