A reason to live

by beth   Sep 13, 2005


Years lay in our hands, forever has past
Those years convinced me that our love would last
Blinded by a lack of inhibitions inside
I missed the moment that we died

It happened so fast, too fast for me to see
You ended our years, so suddenly
So little words, yet so strong in tone
From years now to this, I’m left all alone

I should’ve expected, but I was so naïve realizing the lies behind the truths I believe
Fighting to wake up, there’s no will in my heart
My strength dissipated when we fell apart

Now I’m left here missing a big part of me
Forced to go on in this world, individually
I’ll be ok but it m take a little while
Eventually I’ll regain my ability to smile

The mistake I made was depending on you for happiness
And that dependence is why I’m sitting here like this
I’ll continue my way, walk along my path
Trying to recover from your aftermath

When you see these words, it might be too late
For I’m in search of my destiny, a new path to fate
Don’t get me wrong, you’ll stay in my dreams
But our life, my life here.. fell apart by the seams

I had a reason to stay, a reason to be
My reason for life was your love for me
Now that time has come and it has gone by
No more stars left in my endless night sky

All you need to know is in these words I put down
You were the ocean, I let myself drown
So I’ll leave this place, don’t shed one tear
This place only reminds me of my one greatest fear

You were my reason for waking up every day
You were the breath that kept me alive in every way
Now my reasons have left, I’m left all alone
Finally with the courage to not wait by the phone

I can’t live like this, I must take my leave
I trusted you, and all you did was deceive
So I’ll say my goodbyes and hop in my car
Drive endlessly until I am so so far

Maybe years from now I’ll return to this place
When my mind has erased the pictures of your face
This place was my home, it was part of me
And you.. you’ll always be my best worst memory
