I Shouldn't Have Put It Off
I went and jumped right back in,
the first chance I got,
to be in love.
My wounds hadn't healed yet,
and my heart still ached
after being played by two others.
I'd done this many times now, but I guess I'll never learn that love won't solve everything.
I jumped in, didn't look back, I said I'd deal with the pain tomorrow.
But I found that it will only
come back to haunt you,
come back to slowly destroy you,
the pain doesn't heal by
putting it off.
Love can be like a drug,
it distracts you from the hurt,
but the bleeding is still there.
I didn't like it,
but when I got up one day
I found my life was still
filled with the same problems
as before.
All my friends
were still in the psycho mess
I'd left them to go through by themselves.
I hate having to be the strong one
that has to fix the issue
but never gets the credit for it.
I wanted out, so I took a new direction.
I jumped in, didn't look back, I'd deal with the mess tomorrow.
I wanted to be involved, with someone who could treat me right
like I felt I deserved.
But I found that everything
will only come back to haunt you,
come back to slowly destroy you.
It would've been a better idea
if I'd just done what I was supposed to
before I started anything new.
