I'm trying so hard
To let it go, and realize
I cannot hold you for an eternity,
You will not always be by my sideTalking isn't constant
Words aren't always said
I cannot spend my days here
Lying in my bedI must leave this place
Not going too far
Simply a place where it is quiet
The front door left ajarA place where noises are hushed
It is just me, myself and I
Where I can let it out
I can begin to cryMy silent tears could carry the sadness away
Far away from me
So I can smile more often
So I can be set freeEventually
