11/07 I won't let love get the best of me again. |
It could be a month of Monday nights in silence. It could be my reflection, glaring off your eyelids. I don't know much, but of one thing I am sure: I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. Yes it's true I am no saint and twice as much of you can be said the same. And I am as certain as our evil is pure. I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. You can continue to drag my name through the muck but I will never blame you for my own dumb luck. I may not play games enough to settle the score. I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. A night of construction; a day to live in it. One breath of destruction leads to a bounty of regret. I kneel before you, humble and demure. I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. The grandest of scales becomes my deepest debt, for as long as I live, 'twill be longer lest I forget. Your smile and touches are real and secure. I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. Easy to come, and even easier to go. It isn't a charade and my tears aren't for show. Tell me when did my love become a revolving door? I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. I'm not running; it's easy, you see. My heart wasn't welcome in the best places to be. I may never live up to what you thought you had in store. I will not look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. Maybe I'll be blessed with a life of Thanksgivings or cursed by the mouths of unsatisfied cravings. I don't know much, but of one thing I am sure: I will not, cannot, dare not, look heartbreak in the eyes anymore. No I won't look heartbreak in your eyes anymore. |
