The noise is unbearable

The silence is deadly

Distance is dreadful

And 'empty' lasts for a while

Scars don't fully heal

They just fade

People are fickle

They'll always change their mind

 You'll fall in love

Then you'll watch her go

And you'll push everyone else away

Because you've just stopped caring

You'll stay up all night

You can't fall asleep

Watching time

Slip by

Is the only way you can relax

But life goes on

Whether you want it to or not

And dreams die hard

Wisdom comes with age

So until you learn

It's best to leave a trail of breadcrumbs

So you can find your way back home

But until then

You'll find that

Noise hurts your ears

Silence makes you want to scream

Distance means forgetting

And the truth

The truth sometimes hurts
