Sleeve

Standing here with my heart on my sleeve Trying to do no wrong It doesn't matter what you believe The day's they seem so long I'm reaching for that something I just can't see Time and time again it's gone wrong Dreaming of what used to be Brain fumbling for the right word Love is something that comes and there it goes Remembering what you heard Time really shows Thinking love never has a chance to grow Silenced by the slamming door Didn't even get to know Was it a fling or something more Time for me to look beyond what all hearts desire Away from these long cold nights Warming myself by the morning fire Far away from the city lights As the stars start fading from the sky Which way shall I go now to find that road home There is no reason to cry I no longer wish to roam Just can't find my way Eyes searching for some distant light Keep hoping and then just maybe some day The way I choose will be right And start leading me home away from these lonely times Where I'll no longer need to roam Then I can sit and ponder these painful rhymes
