Stronger and With A New Song
Stronger and with a new songby Laura Harrison
All spinning on our own paths, I see that you are busy,
I understand that fully, but when I do talk to you I'm dizzy,
When we first met I couldn't see, but I see now it is the lack of truth in your touch,
I don't know that it is even conscious, or if you even feel that much.
Once again I feel alone, but it is mostly my own fault,
because I put my faith in other's actions, instead of in the present by default.
I told myself stories dressed in others' clothes,
it was my own mind that turned the yes's to no's.
That is part of this result, but I didn't create it all,
I can feel what is felt and upspoken, and THAT started the thought-squawl.
you never said you were good for me, I just hoped that you'd be,
but once again my ideas were wrong, but yet not too distant from reality.
When my image of what I had fades and reality sets in like stone,
I feel sobered, and embarassed, and I want to find my way home.
Yet I can't be so hard upon myself, because this is the process,
waking up takes time and patience, dilligence and forgiveness.
And just because it didn't mean what I wanted it to,
doesn't mean what it actually was wasn't true..
it wasn't a mistake to think too much of you.
If I wasn't so taken, mistaken, shaken,
If I didn't let my heart break then,
I wouldn't have been opened up, wouldn't have grown.
I wouldn't have been shown,
and never would have known,
I would still suffer believing in that lie.
As the falsities crash, shatter like glass,
There is a hot, stinging slap to my heart,
A dark vaccuum in my chest,
a deep and painful unrest,
but when the tears dry, I am freer and I,
see clearer then ever before.
Sadness leaves, and happiness returns to my door.
The sun shines brighter,
and I am so much lighter,
and so I continue on...
Stronger and with a new song.
