Theme From Mahogany midifile

Introspect

So I find myself alone again,
But I’m living through the pain.
Yes your love meant everything to me,
But you were just too blind to see.
You will run away yet again,
When someone gets too close to you,
When all thy want to give is love,
And all they want to be is friends.

Yet I still see a distant light,
Buried deep inside of you,
Underneath the rubble of attitude,
Is the person I once knew.
Runaway, run away. Don’t get too close to me,
Throwing away what you want the most,
And in the end you’ll be a prisoner,
To your need to be free.

Getting over you is hard,
Harder than I will admit.
It’s true I have let go your hand,
But I hope someday again I’ll hold it.
I can’t bare to be too close,
And can’t stand being far away.
Unsolicited love and stubborn hope,
Extinguish fear and drive good sense away.

And just what are you running from?
Or should it be what you’re running to?
You seem to hop around a lot,
Looking for your perfect view.
Water colours run in the rain,
And oil colours fade over time,
And in each case the view stays the same,
Because it’s only surface, not inside.

Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.
