Tomorrow's Today
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know how to love you anymore
I don’t know how to make you happy
And keep myself from being miserable at the same time
I feel you in my soul
Carry you in my spirit
But the closer I want us to be
The further away we become
I can’t help the way I feel
You want to be alone
But I refuse to leave
How can you do this to me?
You promised not to hurt me
But each night I cry
With memories of how things once were between us haunting me
I only want you
I only love you
But I can’t get you to love me
Not the way you used to
Everything I do
Seems to be wrong
So teach me how to love you
Teach me how to make things better
Show me how to make things right
Because I see us slowly falling apart
Maybe we were picked up off the ground too fast
Falling in love with idea of falling in love
Unable to catch our breath
Caught up in the turbulence
Still numb from the pain of our past
I know what is like to stay when you want to go
When you know you should
I wouldn’t want to you to feel like that
I wouldn’t want to make you feel like that
If I have to let you go I will
A broken heart is the price I would have to pay
I would pay it
If it would make you happy
I love you so much
That at times I feel like I can’t breathe
The thought of losing you
Losing us
Makes my tears fall faster
Makes my resentment towards life grow stronger
I made up my mind
You are my today
So why can’t we …just hold on till tomorrow?
