Second Guessing

I’m always second guessing
Never really knowing
If anything I’ve done or do
Are my true intentions showing

Can you tell the pain I’m in
Would you even guess
That if you asked the right question
My answer would be Yes

Would I stay or would I go
I really do not know
Do I love you, do i want you
I cannot answer this for sure

Do i speak up and let it out
Should i just play along
Act like im ok and fine
When inside it feels all wrong?

So scared to leave, 
Terrified of regret
Once i go, 
IF i go, 
So easy to forget

Realize i settled
Im owed so much more. 
That what ive taken for myself
Is what ive settled for. 

What i want now is more than i can have
If only i could have it
Im driving myself mad

Never thought it possible
I never think it through
Second guessing myself is something
I always seem to do.

That is why coins were invented, so you could instantly decide between "heads" or "tails". Even the most difficult decision can be reached when you break it all down to choices between "this" and "that". Enjoyed! Aloha!
