Let Go

Jul 02, 2006 08:13

It’s the little things you scarcely notice
That recollecting look in your eyes
It’s all I see and I sit and wonder
All the while it eats away at me inside

Like a shredded cast I just can’t throw away
Your words slash at my innocence
Throw me a nauseous spin
This intense nightmare I just can’t shake

Oh I feel like it’s coming for me
A useless surrender my only plea
The only love I’ve ever known
Coming forth to carry me home

Why does this tear me inside out
Believe me I want this torture to end
I want to smile move on let go
I don’t ever want to feel this again

These thoughts rage burning inside
Broken dreams and missing memories
What I wouldn’t give to live life again
That’s the difference between you and me

Oh I feel like it’s coming for me
A useless surrender my only plea
The only love I’ve ever known
Coming forth to carry me home

And I’ve
Been fighting this losing fight way too long
And I’ve
Been crying these tired tears way too long
And I’ve
Been fighting to find what went wrong
And I’ve
Been trying to lay it all out in this song

Oh I feel like it’s coming for me
A useless surrender my only plea
The only love I’ve ever known
Coming forth to carry me home

Oh I feel like it’s coming for me
A useless surrender my only plea
The only love I’ve ever known
Coming forth to carry me home

This song came about in a strange way. I started it somewhere in the skies over Arizona on my way home a few weeks ago. I finished it right as the pilot said we were reaching Oregon air space. Thanks, Nevada. It's about a few things, like wishing people would stop talking about how much they love things in their life that I never had. And, for me, how hard it is to talk about those things and feeling bad about that on top of it. I noticed it felt appropriate after I watched the slide show of my sister's life that my mom made for her graduation, too. That show made me really think about how much I love her and how I should have been there for her graduation. At the same time, I saw in pictures her life and I actually wish mine was more like it. ??? Don't ask why, it just is. Regret.

Mas Luego...

Cheers, as always :)
