#5

We met when I was just a girl of eighteen
Roadtripping across the country with some friends
We'd heard another group of kids had checked into our hotel
And I peeked out the door and I saw you

For a moment
The world stood still
My heart skipped a beat
I forgot how to breathe
And when I remembered
I breathed in you.

Those summer days
Went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same

Time and went by and we broke up and made up again
So many times we finally lost count
And then one summer I finally moved in with you
I realized that life was something I could never do
I left and returned to school
And then I found out I was going to have your baby

For a moment
The world stood still
My heart skipped a beat
I forgot how to breathe
And when I remembered
It wasn't for you

Those summer days
Went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same

Fast forward five years
There you are
And here I am
I swore giving up was never an option
But here we are now
I'm taking my baby and we're moving on
I've finally learned
When the whole world is crashing down around you
You've gotta stand tall on your own

I'll always remember

Those summer days
That went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same

I never saw it coming

The night is dark and I can't see
I feel the cold creeping over me
I try to hold on to your warmth
But I'm all alone

Your arms don't hold me anymore
Your words pierce deep into my soul
Your body hasn't been mine alone for longer than I've known

I tried to find a way to show how I feel
I tried to find the words to say what I've been thinking
But I cannot comprehend what you have done
I am betrayed
And I never saw it coming

Take it in Let it go
Run away Take it slow
Like Oil and Water
Your lies and My truth
We don't belong together anymore

So what is this lie that I've been living?
You said I was the only one
Was that to spare my feelings?
When you were with me, were you thinking of her?
When you were with her, did you ever think of me?
Did you whisper in her ear,
Baby, you are the only one for me?

I'm trying to find a way to show how I feel
I'm trying to find the words to say what I've been thinking
But I cannot comprehend what you have done
I am betrayed
And I never saw it coming

I never saw it coming

Letting Go

When is enough enough?
How much must we cry and grieve and anguish over the mistakes of the past? When is it time to let go?
Why does it hurt like this? Why is pain not the cure?

I am of a mind to give it up.
Give it all away. I'm sorry. I don't think I'm strong enough to stay.

I don't want to let go, but I've fallen.
I've gone over the edge. Gone over the edge and I'm falling down.
I'm screaming- does no one hear me?
I'm here and I'm crying out! I'm crying out! I'm crying out!
I'm letting go

Take my yesterdays.
Unwind these memories. Take away the fear that paralyzes me.
Take my suffering. Pain is not the remedy.  I'm still searching for the cure.

Just when I'm of a mind to give up.
You come to show me the way. You make me strong enough to say

I am letting go. Yes, I've fallen.
I've gone over the edge. Gone over the edge and I'm falling down.
I'm screaming- do you hear me?
I'm here and I'm crying out! I'm crying out! I'm crying out!

I'm falling into you. Giving you my life. Taking up my faith.  And, finally, with my soul laid bare- I'm letting go...

And it's enough.
