Complicated You

Complicated you, you gave your heart, gave your soul up to
someone new
But now you’re all alone; crying ever jaded
Your knew the time would come but it was so much easier to stay
than run
You’d even hope and pray that feelings hadn’t faded

Then you left and tried to leave the pain
But it would follow every step you’d take
Lesson learned in never knowing what lay just ahead
Or how to hold to love despite the battle in your head

Now it’s been so long; you’re tired—worn out from always
being strong
And then you finally break from always trying to save it
Ever more to ache, ever in hurting in anguish,
enduring shame
And then on fallen knees you pray that you can make it.

Left a life, a home, a broken soul to heal
Every moment hiding how you feel
Haunting memories of joy haven't known since then
Always dreaming just to wake up all alone again.

Pick yourself up
And dream
Lift up your eyes
And see.
Just a short time
To try
And forget each time
You cried

When you find the dawn, reach out, grip tight and just
hold on
Never let it go, the tunnel dark is ending
Just stay on the road; soon the day will come when you can
let it go
And then you’ll feel the warmth the sun is always sending

One day you’ll look back from the light of the springtime
maybe even laugh
At the winter gone and sorrows you were tending.
