Freeing Space To Let You In

You got me remembering Smiling like I just can’t see I’ll hold you close Branches to your tree But it keeps dissolving Washing the sunshine with rain I can’t temper each thunderstorm It’s like I’m circling a drain If you want me Stop letting me go I know you’re strong But can’t I just have a little hope You’re weaker then I thought Trying not to feel the same You’re not vacant like you claim to be But you’ll end up alone and with only you to blame I can’t unsee these colors Forbidden fruit tastes good to me I want to draw outside the lines Let you show me how it could be Paper thin I can see through it My watercolors are beginning to fade Once all trace of me is gone Will you try to write another story in I’ve got my head pounding From banging against your wall Pulling up my expectations from the ground There’s no hiding now You must just tell me what I want to hear I don’t need to hold back all the things I want to say Is it your heart or your head that has you running away
