Click hereDo you know what it’s like
Being told time and again that you just
Don’t compare
To the one he really wants to be with
You’re always just scattered rags
Do you know
What it does to your faith
When you’re always just leftovers
To be stored and never eaten
Your faith diminishes until it is just a fragment of a ghost
Time shreds your need and want
He walks into your life
You shove until he’s out
You want to be alone
Too tired and numb to all the emotional disarray
The guy you always wanted deep down looks and sees
You’ve grown up into a pretty young thing
Your heart flips, can’t believe he wants you
But your mind is questioning how he feels, if he could ever
Think of you as the one to make him whole
Once you find out, you tell yourself no more, uh-uh, not doing it again
I’m saving my best for last…
He doesn’t know how much he means to you
Or how it hurts to think of him with someone else after he finally saw you as more
But his words keep playing in your head
“We get over everything”
Tears threatening to fall
Despite the wobbles, you hold your chin up
Tell yourself well damn, I am not worth much to guys
No matter what anyone thinks
It just isn’t worth it to open the doors to my heart
If they care, they’ll get over it anyway
And inside, I’m so numb, blocking entrance to all others
You want it to happen like this...only something that can actually be forever
Without him saying it has to end
But you know the only reason it came to this…he was chained loosely to you from birth
He will always love you
Even if not in love
And you will always love him
Even though you’d wish he wanted the world to know you’re his
Bragging about it like you would
But you can smile anyway
Life goes on
May leave us limping with lost hope
All you can smile about right now is that he wants to be with you more than any other woman
Something no other man could ever achieve
For a girl who never displayed the best personality
The noose is right there
You finger it gently
Remembering
Wondering if you could ever be happy in this world
Where the people who loved you the most can turn their back
Without telling you why
Why must the world be this way?
Why can’t life be…more secure, less about constant change?
Most people are unhappily married
There are few rare exceptions
But as you were always settling
When you thought he wasn’t a possibility
You know in your heart
You won’t get over him
Though you let him believe it is true
Don’t want him to walk away
Thinking he made a mistake
In pulling you out of your dark cave
He may not be able to save you
But he taught you to live again
The most precious gift anyone could have given you
The future sounds so bleak
Dropping into the water
Loyalty mars your face, distinguishing you from the others that have fallen from those they claimed to love
Maybe you aren’t such a catch
But you know
He’s the only man who could ever really care about you this way
The others just saw you as a throwaway
Nothing’s going to change if you let them hold you down
No, you won’t be dragged again
He’s the one you want, and you’ll remain true
Like no one else could
Love everlasting
Looking at him, you can’t help but think
“The only one I can live with is you”
