In The End
Something I wrote a while ago...
I felt lost and fallen
Not knowing why
I needed you to be there
I wished you were there
To give me a hug
To catch me as I collapsed
Under the pressure of every word
That they had said to me
Words I might have swallowed
If only I had you to keep me safe
And keep them away
Because you actually care
I've got to understand
That it won't work the way I want it to
Even though you're there for me
You're not always going to come to my rescue
Even when I need it the most
Because I know that
We're only friends
As much as I'd wish for it
As much as I'd pray for it
I'm traveling down that road to acceptance
For now there's one thing
That I've got to face on my own
Because in the end,
All I'll have to depend on
Is me
I felt lost and fallen
Not knowing why
I needed you to be there
I wished you were there
To give me a hug
To catch me as I collapsed
Under the pressure of every word
That they had said to me
Words I might have swallowed
If only I had you to keep me safe
And keep them away
Because you actually care
I've got to understand
That it won't work the way I want it to
Even though you're there for me
You're not always going to come to my rescue
Even when I need it the most
Because I know that
We're only friends
As much as I'd wish for it
As much as I'd pray for it
I'm traveling down that road to acceptance
For now there's one thing
That I've got to face on my own
Because in the end,
All I'll have to depend on
Is me
