These Tired Shoes

- Feeling so lost

I’ll take a little walk…you know… in the pouring rain
Maybe the tears will finally wash away this inner pain

Another night spent all alone, another folded bruise
You don’t know what its like to walk, in these tired shoes

This pain is grinding in my mind, tearing me apart
Go on… I dare you, go too far and break my tilted heart

The days are short, never sweet, and the nights are still so long
In this lasting fight of mine, it’s impossible to stay strong

They say good things, always come, to those who sit and wait
Well I’ve been waiting for too long, the time is getting late

And whenever I think about you, waves of tears, sweep coast to coast
And you know the thing that hurts: you left when I needed you the most

I know I’ve got to get to the shore, Everyday I need you more…
This heart of mine it won’t stop aching, these dreams inside, they won’t stop breaking

Will you tell me does it hurt…when I say that you caused pain?
Or do these words wash over you… like this pouring rain

Will you tell me does it hurt…when I say you brought me fears?
Or does the truth wash over you …like my rolling tears

I still don’t know, why I love you, why I miss you so very much
I try so hard to hate you, loathe you, yet I still miss your touch

And you load the ammunition that I happily fire at me
I’m dodging all your bullets in my struggle to be free

Smiles are under rated… when every day you cry
You always leave me standing here, feeling high and dry

And you know there is no need, to explain this anymore
It’s all been said, in the past, too many times before

Just close those cold dark eyes of yours and tell me what you see
Well that’s exactly what its like, to live everyday as me
