Laura Marie This Time
This Time
I used to think that it was only me
the way my world collides
with every truth I seek
and how I couldn’t keep myself
from falling deep into
the waiting void that I have left in me
You used to think that it was only you
the way my world revolved
around the things you do
and how I couldn’t keep myself
from falling through into
the waiting void and how
that still seems true
If I was made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
this time
I’ve never come this far
I used to keep a little piece of mind
I kept it tucked behind my ear
a little light that I could ride away
upon in troubled times
it’s just another part of me
that I can’t find
I’ve never come this far
but I know I want to stay here
for the moment I can see
why you had to let me feel this way
I wouldn’t cry if I didn’t know
that I could have been here yesterday
but I wouldn’t have tried
without you on my side,
if you hadn’t let me go
and you didn’t want to know
if I was...
made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
this time
