The Light When everyone you hardly knew believed in you, when your closest friends sabotaged you again, when every song you hear is repeat to your ears; When you should have turned left, but you turned right back to the wrong. Why did I only run when someone else was at stake, when someone else was under the gun? They pulled me in all different ways and gave me advice; some I heard, some made me hesitate; They didn't know me quite well enough, and now my head is tangled again. They tried to bring me up but kept talking others down, Why couldn't they understand that negativity couldn't be part of their masterplan? When will we ever learn that it doesn't work when you keep making other people out to be a jerk? Because I know they aren't and even if they are how much does it matter? I don't want to hear it if what you're striving for is for us to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Because the light doesn't care about our mistakes, and the light doesn't care about what you perceive. So why'd you strain and test my mind with useless games, and let it wander astray from the light where we were all meant to play? Only hindsight shows me what should have been taken in stride; Please tell me for the love of God, That the cowards aren't winning the game and leaving our love to die again. |
