Little Boxes

Never know which road to travel

Never know which friends to keep

Always looking for a savior

Always searching for anything

to make me humble

to make me happy

to make me free

Still I'm tripping on my laces

Still I'm always on the mend

Just waiting for my white knight

to finally come swooping in

and give me something

to believe in 

waiting for something.

And if time has taught me anything

It's that people are seldom kind

And I needed you to answer me

Was I ever on your mind

Or was I an after thought

Was I your fool

Do you even know?

What I've learned is trust can fade away

What I know is some wounds heal

Time can take away some memories

Time can't diminish what you feel

And when it's over

Will I be remembered

For loving you.

Little blocks of independence

Morphed into this solitude

And I am piecing together remnants

Of the person I once knew

I am vigilant in my exposure

Masking tear stained cheeks and reddened eyes

If I can keep my composure long enough

You might believe in all my lies

Because I have taken the road to no where

Been lost in fields of Heavenly

Traded lust for what I thought was love

I've been wasted thoroughly

For a little sunshine

My little star shine

You darken me 

Guess what I'm trying to say is there's forgiveness

If you ever needed mine

If the road you travelled far enough

somehow brought you back to mine

I would be more understanding

I might have more to offer

Than what you knew

And if time was cruel to that heart you stole

Know that mine's still beating and holding on

And I wouldn't trade you for the pain you caused

But I'd gladly empathize what you've become

because we're human

and deep down inside

You're still just you
