I am now in the part of my life
when I can let you go,
although I don't want to.
But I can realize now
that you are doing me
more harm than good.
So I'll rip my heart
into the small pieces
that it has been ripped to before,
and scatter them around me.
A shield, to remind myself
to not get involved with you
or anyone like you.
I've done it so many times,
it seems as if I'll never
learn my lesson.
But it's hard for me
because I don't want to let go.
I know there will come a time
when I have to,
but I just don't want it to come.
So instead of putting myself through it,
the waiting, anticipation,
wondering if maybe I could win your heart,
I am just leaving it behind.
I don't want your heart anymore.
Right now, I don't want
you anymore.
You can take you and your heart
back to Oklahoma.
Give it back to
your girlfriend and your son.
I don't want you
in my life anymore.
I have these words
running through my head.
But the problem is,
as much as I want to believe them,
I know they're not true. |
