Set Me Free

A broken heart seems to never want to heal
You learn to love someone and you forget how else to feel
Even though they’ve made you so high
You forget they’re the same person causing you to sigh

Loving someone sometimes leads to a reckless path
Problems can’t be solved with simple math
And even though it hurts to keep going, loving this person unconditionally
There seems to be no where else to run, but to provide this love endlessly

You fall quite hard but continue to brush yourself off
While every one around you only continues to give condescending scoffs
But when you’re in love its hard to know when to stop
With not much left you continue to race towards the top

Realize this though, some things aren’t meant to be
Until this fact soaks in your mind, you’ll never be set free
