The Words Inside My Head

Moments lapse so quickly
I am reminded of the past
A second that won't last
A time when hope
And freedom faded briskly
Into a cold reality
There's nothing left to hide
No fear of failure left inside
I've given all my chances
For one last regret
I wait in silence till they all forget
I'm lost for a moment
Let me be who I truly am
Would it kill you to try and understand
You were everything I wanted in a friend
But I didn't know that you'd be gone in the end
The day slips into night
The soothing silence says everything's alright
I can't be who I want to be
All the time I've been running from the real me
Let me take your hand
Let me show you there's more than what you had planned
I want so much more
I'm tired of turning while my life knocks on every door
You may turn away
I'm learning to realize that I will be okay
The clouds hang over; they drip and cover
But my boring life is dry
Taking me no where while the rain gets in my eye
I cannot help but to see your face
In every moment, in every single place
The Street, The House, The School, The Mall
I'd tell you I'm kidding, but really I've seen it all
I wish that you'd be my hero
I wish that you knew how to take my cares away
A silent wind sweeps through my mind
Taking me places that no one else can find
And all I do is dream
Wanting so badly to wail and cry and scream
Let me know who you really are
Let me help you to reach your every star
You are more than I'll ever be
But I'm just glad you had the courage to love me
I sit alone and slowly cry
Then I wipe the tears that flood my eye
I cannot help but think of you
And all the pain you've put me through
I have done the best I can
And that's all I can do
I'm sick of needing you
So now I'm pushing through
On my own
My life is such a trial
But I'll look back and be able to form a smile
I am not afraid
Of all the crazy plans I've made
I wish the best for you and me
And I'm really sorry you could never see
That you were the one who would'ave
made my life complete
It was you...that is true
That is all that I can say and do
So let me give you these last words
Baby I love you...and I miss you
That's the truth.
