And feel my burden of pain.
Then return to me tomorrow
Aboard the lonely train.
Now do you see?
What's been bothering me?
If you still don't understand
Maybe it's time to end this -
Bury our emotions in the sand
And forget those times of bliss.
My passion grew like a healthy tree
Throughout the Summer's heat. While your angst to be free
Turned feelings not so sweet.
The knot that was once held tight
By a love that ran deep in my chest.
It's now coming undone -
Frayed ends of the rope
Left to devastate.
Now I must learn to cope.
My spirits must learn to levitate.
The loosening laces caught under me -
They trip me, I stumble and fall
Over and over again
Leaving traces as I sprawl.
I need someone to help me
Through these confusing days
And as that's said, I look up to see
A shining, smiling face.
I'm all mixed up, once again
Trapped in the sneaky snare
It makes me tear up like a rain
As you show your care
And make it clear as water
That I should give in to you.
I fall deeper into thoughts and think
Is this what I should do?
Yet as I think, you lean in closer -
My heart sent on a whirling coaster
As I watch your hands
Reach down towards my shoes.
My feelings are unplanned.
I crave them and don't want to lose
These new emotions brought onto me.
You pull the strings so taut and tight
And tie the knots with loving might.
Bringing happiness back in my life.
I have someone that understands me.
Someone willing to pull the knife
That was shoved into my swelling heart.
Then you sew up the wounds
And heal the ache as best you can
With a simple smile or a couple of words
I don't know how to answer -
How exactly do you do it?
Making me feel the way I do.
Shoes tied back upon my feet - I sit,
Pausing to think of you.
My heart now beats for a different reason -
This new person came with the season.
The soles of my shoes are weathered and faded.
Yet they continue to tread on this crazy path
Even though I still feel betrayed and jaded,
I have learned to move along - live, forget, and laugh.
Because I have someone out there
That truly cares about me.
These thoughts carry me through the day.
And I'm positive they're here to stay.
Now walking around, my feet content
With the shoes that no longer torment.
Trapped in the sneaky snare
It makes me tear up like a rain
As you show your care
And make it clear as water
That I should give in to you.
I fall deeper into thoughts and think
Is this what I should do?
Yet as I think, you lean in closer -
My heart sent on a whirling coaster
