"There"

by Amanda Sloan   Aug 5, 2006


I'm tired of being disappointed in you
You may not try but that's what you seem to keep doing
I'm tired of looking like a fool
Begging at your feet
You may not think you do but you ignore me
I don't want to think less of you
but it's almost like you try to let me down
That mysterious person, and the guy I never knew.. they fear me.
I can feel you falling, I wanted to be all that you needed
But you were never really there at all
I always get ahead of myself, you shouldn't let me speak
All the times your around me and by my side, really things appear fine
But the second you walk away, I hear a different voice in a different speed
Every word a bigger canyon digs its way between us
It's like its all and then nothing
I'm not the one you should fear
I don't always have a solution, but it's me you should hear. But you can't hear
And this is only when it comes to me
You take too many chances with your feelings, no one knows how you truly feel
You've got your defenses especially when we wake up in the midst of a breakdown
But how could you set something free that doesn't want to be
Can you not see what this is
These years of love and work with the hope of normalcy, just you and me.
I'm not the one who pushed you down
All you want from me is what you need
And yet you take it so slowly
We both want to just be "there"
Whether we say it or not
But in reality we can't get there, and ironically here is no longer there anymore.
The feeling of home has diminished
And the eyes look so lonely
Can't you see that this fall down between us means nothing in the sense of eternity
