The Journey of Finding Me and Holding Onto You

The Journey of Finding Me and Holding onto You By Aidan Gilbert Now I now I know why you left It was me wasting all my time trying to find myself Only finding out that I needed you It was never an official goodbye Hoping again we’ll say hi But your gone So I write this song I’m lost again Confusion once again But I find strength in hurt Ignoring myself thinking we will work Believing we will both be broken enough to love a lie Trying to figure out the puzzle piece: life Yet I’m bold enough to call myself out into the waves Open my eyes but stuck in haze What’s taking me so long To find a clear day With you happiness put it all away Now I’m stripped to my knees Handed to the enemy: me The person I could be is too strong The person I am right now is wrong There is no perfect me How could I even be set free I should just die But I know that is a lie With you I had a chance Remembering our only dance …I Wish you were here So l could hold you near Have nothing to fear I don’t need to know who is me Just seeing you in my mind is key
