It's My Mind That Gets Me

These eyes see higher skies
So much for learning to fly
These ears find colder fights
So much for trying not to cry
This heart reaches for brighter nights
So much for running from light

There are just a few things in my head
Why does a coffeeshop window trigger my head?
Why do I put so much trust in my head?
Or am I just a little on the lost side

This mind sees different arms
So much for making this hard
These thoughts take my heart
So much for sticking to the easy part
And still this heart of mine reaches out far
So much for sticking to who we are

There are just a few things in my heart
That take control but keep me away from those scars
That stick around when you smoke your sweet cigar
But sometimes I realize it's my mind that gets me
