The past has struck me hard, it seems
Preventing me from moving ahead in my dreams
When I finally break my heart's icy shell
Chained ghosts surface and my happiness quell
I should not care about what others think
But fear grips me, and I'm on the brink
Countless nights with just my pillow for a friend
Sharing all my sorrows, with no sign of an end
Moments I never thought I'd live, I've seen
The world thinks I'm insane, and that's what it's been
What's the use of sanity in a world that doesn't care?
No one understands my pain, and no one's there
Someone kissed me with their heart, and I let go
Lost in their embrace, I reached for the sky's glow
But it vanished, just as it came
Leaving me with nothing but an empty frame
All I have now is my own mind
Stupid doubts that won't let me unwind
How can I forget the love I had
The promises and stories that made me glad
It hurts to hold onto these memories, I know
But they're all I have, and I won't let go
I've cried enough, screamed at life
Said I won't love again, that I'll never thrive
But someone new has come into my life
Filling my days with joy, removing strife
My nights are no longer lonely, with them near
They think of me and care, and that's so dear
My tears have turned to smiles, my laments to glee
It's not magic, just something that had to be
I must handle it with maturity, not fall again
For love is a risky game, filled with pain
I'm afraid to lose sight of where I'm headed
For when the heart falls, the brain is bedded
A new life is offered, and I want to believe
It won't be easy, but I won't deceive
I asked the heavens for comfort, and an angel came
Saying that I'll never be happy if I don't lose shame
It's better to try and fail than to never know
Regretting what I didn't do, with nothing to show
So, I'll leave everything behind and give it a shot
Before losing someone who says they love me a lot
