Girl, listen
We women
tend to soak up all their needs till we’re dripping
avoid the pull to wonder what we’re missing
I’ve been going round this wheel for years
You can’t stop time by gumming up the gears
So go. Even though…
I have no one to run to
I’ve got no place to land
I’ll hurt the ones I love
By my own hand
Afraid to face the pain
Ashamed I can’t explain
i have to, I have to, I have to
Gut feeling
barely dealing
I tried to drown it out, but it haunts me
The specter of a someone that I don’t want to be
I’ve been going round this wheel for years
pushed down the doubts and followed out of fear
So go. Even though…
I’m causing all this trouble
Why ruin what I had?
I’m breaking up my promise
so selfish and so bad
Afraid to face the pain
Ashamed I can’t explain
I have to, I have to, I have to
On any other Monday I might have walked away
I think that’s when the cracks began to show
You may never understand why I couldn’t stay
The murmur of my heart began to grow
It said “You know… you know you’ve got to go”
Afraid to face the pain
Ashamed I can’t explain
I have to, I have to, I have to
Oh my, oh my mind
there’s life enough to live
Oh my, oh my heart
there’s love enough to give
