I am here in my apartment
I have lied to myself
Telling myself that I can move on

Why don’t I walk away?
Literally I am walking in circles wondering
Kitchen, dining room, living room, kitchen again
Over and over again

Why can’t I show you?
One day you show me you still care
The next, I have no idea
A one-two punch I cannot avoid

Are you testing me?
I have lied to you too
I told you I was fine
Showing you a false smile every time I see you

Are you pushing me away?
Why do I play my self like this?
I have tried everything to help you
Taken every step to fix things without a light to guide me

What about the people I have hurt?
Running away from those that care for me
Not taking any advice giving
All for the sake of being with you


From this all I can figure that I am

Foolish
Telling myself that I can move on

Misguided
Over and over again

Helpless
A one-two punch I cannot avoid

Liar
Showing you a false smile every time I see you

Blind
Taken every step to fix things without a light to guide me

Lost
All for the sake of being with you

Lost

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Oh, don't you just hate feeling so lost. I maintain that it is at lest partially the other person's fault, it sounds like you are taking all the blame for your situation.
I'm lost over here, too.
Peace

thx for the kind words and advice you two, but only time can tell what will happen.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all
