Moving On

I've been knocked to the ground, I'm as low as can be The thoughts that run through my mind are why oh why, and woe is me It seems I've been here before, and I can see clearer The reasons are the same and the heartache comes nearer Though I'm broken and hurt and as sad as can be The only way to feel better is to create a new me So this time I must build a thicker wall, And pick up the pieces of my broken heart The past is the past, and I can't let it follow Though I still feel the pain, I can't go on in sorrow I wish I had been enough, that I was worth more effort, But now I know, I can't chase air forever I wish I could say I don't care anymore, But the truth is my darling, that's why it hurts more. But it's obvious from all of the struggles we've had As hard as I try, this will just end up sad. I wish you the best, really I do And there will always be a place in my heart reserved for you I will smile and laugh and rise above, And then one day I hope, I can again find love. So Lord give me strength as I go through this trial, I am ready to accept things and be no longer in denial. Thank you my dear, for times I can't forget And for that time in my life, you really were the best. People will love you, then hurt you and leave, But the test is how we endure and grieve. My path is uncertain, and it scares me to death, But I will move forward and try to live with each breath. Remember me please, when you think of the past, And I will try to remember, that some good things, just aren't meant to last
