These Old Scars
Just feel like letting go...
without addiction nor
prediction...
your love I no longer keep...
just feel like letting go...
...a failure you make me feel...
...to let go...in the letting go I heal...
For sometimes in my heart I feel
so numb...
...your words they cut so deep...
...these old scars they run and tear...
I've hidden it all very well...
this mask I wear this strength...
but this strength it only lasts...
as long as this truth is harnessed...
...these constant reminders...
emotional disaster...
...these mistakes I've made are mine...
...my heart feels like it is leaving
me...I feel like I have lost...
...truthfully a long time ago...
when you reminded me of the failure
I was...my heart actually fears you...
...your words...eat into me they rot away my
heart my little happiness...
...Something your heart does not forget...
and I keep on trying...how dumb is that!!!
