Going Through the Motions
A momentary lapse of reason
Has brought me back to you
Even though I'll always know
The hurt you've put me through
With blinded eyes I come again
My heart won't let me leave
I can't deny the tears I cry
The evidence, on my sleeve
Doubt has now replaced the hope
That made my world worth while
Dread and fear will reappear
And steal away my smile
Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
I have no will to even feel
Just following your commands
I'm just going through the motions
Tired and feeling used
I tried today to stay away
But my heart again, refused
