My Own

I’m on my own but thats okay,
I can still feel the tears rolling down my face.
Still learning to love, still very afraid.
Still just trying to find my own way.

Yeah, I think I’m good I’m moving on
But the thought of you keeps creeping in 
And I just can’t handle this anymore on my own.

I just wanted you to know, want you to see,
That I know why you had to leave.
You said that you were just trying to protect me.
So I try to fight out of this haze
But I’m losing as everything seems displaced 
Because I still love you.
My heart still mourns for a love that is now gone
My soul feels of blackened burnt wood as I fail moving on.
Please try and tell me that things will be okay
Reassure me that our past wasn’t just a phase
That it was real and true in everything that we would say.

I know that your living your life
Moving on like everything should
Making the best to thrive
Leaving the girl you once loved left behind
Never knowing that her feelings are still where yours once stood
Oh yes, I’m doing fine

Now your back and I want you to stay
But how can I let you in when you walked away?
My love is still here frozen in time
Can I thaw it out without telling a lie?
Should I keep moving on with my failed new start,
Or should I let you back in?
 With hopes that I don’t perish inside
Losing myself to every fault?

Will you leave me guessing or say it’s a joke?
Tell me how wrong I am to assume that you would come back like you did before.
Or will you say that you still love me all the same,
But still leave again as soon as you came?

I already feel you slipping,
Beg did I for you to let me go
If you weren’t here to stay then leave me alone
Don’t mess with my heart like it’s a piece in a game
For I feel more valuable than a pawn made of soft stone.

I'm on my own again, but stronger than before.
I can still feel scars that my tears had made.
Still wanting to learn to love, but paranoid beyond belief 
Make no mistake, for you did this to me. 

Yeah, I'm starting over again
My thoughts like to think of you still.
For you forever left your mark upon my heart,
Giving me a lesson that's left branded on my soul.
Now, I'm moving forward on my own.
