I'm trying to figure myself out
Could I have a minute please?
Before I attach to someone else
I'm gonna try to figure out myself.
Start the watch please
Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc, Its gone by
I've made progress
But could I have more time?
Better yet: pick a different person
Move another one down my line
Am I afraid to go too deep?
Will these walls always be here?
I know if I'm cut I'll bleed
Is it the existance of the knife I fear?
Was I just settling for short of perfect?
But do I deserve it?
Had I been happy in the first place?
Was it in the back of my mind "its not worth it"?
But, if so, Why?
Is there somebody
To keep my satisfied?
To entertain not even a simple whim
Maybe its been my problem all along, didn't I try?
The bar is set too high,
None are meant to reach
People keep going by and by
Without a lesson to learn or teach.
This bar is beyond my grasp, as well
However, no one will know where
I don't reveal anything, If you can't tell
If something was exposed, my thin lineing could tear
By and by
Down on the line
Will I ever be satified?
No, but time will tell for sure
Was I happy in the beginning
Had there been a chip?
Was there anyone happy lying and sinning
Was it worth the relationship?
If only, I could accept
But I can't deal with mirrors
Let alone another to intercept
I'm unhappy with imperfection
Let nothing slide on by
Without such a small selection
It never leaves my mind.
If I hate myself
How will I ever learn
To love someone else?
If I can't open up
How will anyone know
If one's ever enough?
When will the real me show?
If the problme lies within myself
How will I ever lie with someone else?
