Hard to say...

Hard to say...

This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun... point, aim, shoot! You say "she" turned her back, that she was never really there. i don't know if i believe that, but what you say sounds so much like poetry, i give you the benefit of the doubt. i think she loved me. she told me she did. she stuck around... you say i'll never understand it from a woman's perspective. that a woman knows.

The singer finished singing and she's walking out
The singer sheds a tear, her fear of falling out
And it's hard to say how I feel today
For years gone by and I cried

It's hard to say that I was wrong
It's hard to say I miss you
Since you've been gone, it's not the same

But you say I need to let go. You insist that that's what she's done. you say i never had her to begin with. you whisper "she loved you not" in my ear while i lay there pretending to be asleep.

Worse than the fear it's the lie you say she told me a thousand times before
Worse than a fear it's the knife
But it's hard to say how I feel today
For years gone by and I cried

Maybe she didn't love me. Maybe i deserve this. maybe she was right to... you say you love me. you tell me i should trust you. you know she has my heart, but swear that you'll find me a new one to love you all the more with.

My worries weigh the world, how I used to be
And everything, I'm cold, seems a plague in me
And it's hard to say how I feel today
For years gone by and I cried

you tell me you love me, and ask to wipe my tears. it's so hard to say, but maybe you're right. maybe she never did. i wonder though, what makes your promise better than hers? you asked me to let that part of me die... which leaves me half the man i was. but you say you'll still take me. take me?

Amen.
