Awakenings

We first met, the well was dryA long dark winter passed us byWith shooting stars and hopeful hearts, our worlds collideAnd so we rushed to fill each other inQuick to feed our hungry hopesA feast of our affections, we were born anewWith open eyes we tried to make it workAnd for a while the magic tookBut cracks began to show as soon as things got hardLike paper walls our feelings toreWe threw our backs against the doorUnwilling to bear witness to the other sideOh, the games we play to hide, the tangled dread insideThe fear that we are going nowhere fastI point the finger out, the anger gets so loudIt drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?I took a good hard look at how I lovedYears I squandered falling fastFor any boy who'd have me was so insecureI'd lie awake alone at nightFull of loathing, compromisedAnd wondering how the hell did I end up like thisOh, the tears of rage I cried, when nowhere could I findAn answer that made any kind of sense to meI point the finger out, the anger gets so loudIt drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...Oh I wanna learn, I wanna knowWill our history crush us or can we let it go?I'm not the girl I was but what have I become?I'm not so willing anymore to bendStill pleasing and conceding, but I'm not gonna lose myself again
