Saturday Morning Thoughts

See thru lace upon your arms A smile that could break ten men’s hearts Sitting right in front of me in study hall Passing me notes from your friend Knowing damn well I couldn’t pretend You’re the one I always wanted and that’s the truth Now here’s the proof…. This has always been so much more You’re the baggage I’ll carry up to heavens door You’ll probably be the reason They won’t let me in Cause I’m holding on to love and lust I can’t get my heart to give you up Love’s like purgatory When you’re living a lie But I still try… I try running from you to clear my mind If you felt this way you’d understand why Every passing second is hell to pay I can’t say I’d ever trade our first glance But the pain I live today is from missing my chance Did I really have one Not sure I want to know I wish you the best in all that you do I’m here busy loving and wanting you I’m sorry for the distance But there’s no other way If I never see you again face to face Know no one else on earth can take your place These thoughts I had this morning When I opened my eyes Live your life… This has always been so much more You’re the baggage I’ll carry up to heavens door You’ll probably be the reason They won’t let me in Cause I’m holding on to love and lust I can’t get my heart to give you up Love’s like purgatory When you’re living a lie This love’s like purgatory…. And I’m living a lie….
