How did i get here

Contributed by gailj1432 on Monday, 27th February 2012 @ 02:32:07 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief



alone with my thoughts is sometimes a dangerous thing
memories good and bad, that what my thought will bring
its better to have loved and lost they say
but a part of me seems to slowly die each day
how did i get here?

how is it possible my closest friends dont recognize that im a fraud
if they knew the entire truth they would certainly applaud
to think im such a good actress thats just what i do
will they still love me the same if they knew?
tell me how did i get here?

i look in the mirror but what do i really see
scars that will forever be there to remind me
the ones on the outside dont hurt anymore
the ones on the inside still hurt down to the core
can scars help me figure out how did i get here?

it took so many years to build the wall i had
a wall that didnt take you long to destroy and that makes me sad
you are my kryptonite, my addiction, my drug
and right now i would give anything for your kiss anything for your hug
why dont you tell me how did i get here?

i did love you with all my soul with all my heart
i hate to admit i still do but know its better we are apart
please keep the part of me you took in a safe place
maybe you can give it back to me the next time we meet face to face
will i ever find out how i got here?

i thought we were drawn together because of our similar past
i swore you were the one i really thought it would last
there is this girl in the mirror that i cant help no not tonight
i cant make her stop crying even though i tell her it will be alright
she keeps asking how did she get there


my fingers are so tempted to dial your number every day
i long to hear your voice not even caring what you may say
may you never feel the pain and the hurt you caused me
i want it to stop so bad but I guess we will have to see
they say time will heal and this too will pass
but i crave to be loved now it has to be real next time it has to last
I DONT WANT TO BE HERE
