Where Are We Now?

I lie here in the dark, just waiting for your call 
Since day one all we've done is fight 
There's a point when I don't think I can take it anymore 
All the words I say you think are a lie 
I can't make you believe me 
I can't change what you think of me 
I've poured my heart out, but you still think I'm not all in 
But I am
More than you seem to know 
It's now up to you and what you want to believe 
I won't wait forever 
That's just not right and just not me
Make your decision 
But I can't promise to be here when you decide to believe me or not 
It's now or never 
You only live once so live for the moment
The moment is now

Alysa - Nothing is worse than telling the truth and being called a lier - I have worn those shoes and what I learned is its usually the other persons guilt that motivates to accuse - They figure if their doing it you must be too - Its really rather sad and demoralizing to be in those shoes as I recall - better things await hon - God Bless
