Long Long Road

if our paths were to cross, if you were to stumble and fall, my name might be called upon to help you up.
what would i say? would i turn away?
say to you that's the price you pay when you play with a person's heart.
or will i confess? stand up and be a woman that can forgive,
even though i will never forget what you did.
could i wish you the best and be there for you like a friend?
i don't know when, but some day we'll meet again on this long long road.

you'll always be at the back of my mind.
not a pleasant memory, but you are someone i will never forget.
you crop up in my dreams.
when i'm sad your laughter echos around my heart.
you tore my innocence apart.
i don't know where you are.
i don't know who you are with.
i wonder if a woman will ever make you cry.
i'm hoping someday you get what you deserve as you go down this long long road.

time flies by, a neutral party to all life's events.
if by chance, i ever see you again, will i be able to smile?
would i say hi? could i set the past aside and let the bad you did fade from my mind?
stand up and be a woman that can forgive, wish you the best,
pass this test! maybe someday on this long long road we'll meet again.

only fate knows if our paths will cross again. will i recognize you?
will you even remember me? was i just one more girl to meet your biological needs?
will i cry? life is full of twists and turns, you never know how you'll react to a ghost from the past.
there are so many beginnings on this long long road that have no endings.
we'll see, maybe someday, on this long long road i will find out if time really does heal all wounds!

How I Know

it hurts a little bit less today.
my dreams last night were free of you.
i can smile and it reaches my eyes.
my heartbeats don't echo anymore.
time is working her magic on my wounded soul.
that's how i know i'm getting over you!

my focus is back.
i can concentrate on work again.
my days don't drag on without end.
my mind doesn't race when i go to bed.
seasons are changing and so am i.
that's how i know i can live without you!

every song no longer reminds me of you.
i can laugh and enjoy a conversation now.
my tears have dried up.
i don't feel depressed anymore.
the roads are wide open.
that's how i know i will be okay!

three months ago i was devastated.
my heart torn into pieces.
my soul howling with pain.
every breathe a struggle.
i thought a day like today would never come, but it has.
and that's how i know loving you didn't kill me after all!

Done

i was searching for someone to share the burden,
so i wouldn't have to face the world alone.
i thought you could be the one,
but that just came undone!

rant, rave, be the lunatic you crave!
faint, fret, wreck all your bets!
cave, confess, leave me a mess!

it was easy for me to love you,
but it was hard for you to let me.
go ahead and do it on your own.
the road you've chosen is 10x's harder then it needs to be.

you told me it's time to settle down.
you weren't untethered long enough to know.
i put my money down, hoping time would set you free.
but i'll never be your one,
in your eyes i'm done!

cuss, fuss, do what you must!
lie, die, break down and cry!
jump, punch, you didn't leave me much!

it was easy to fuck you,
but it was hard to stop there.
go ahead and make your own way.
the path your on will kick you when you're down.

i cant' wait for you to come around.
i won't force you to be my one.
this sadness i feel is all from you.
so i'm through, done, it's over!
i'm alone again and that's just how it's done!
