Truthfully by Tina Mrazik
Yesterday was meant to be yesterday
Dreams are sometimes not what they seem
For it was I who truly believed in you
As much as you said you believed in me.
And as I sit here contemplating the reasons why
And wondering where it all went it wrong
I have mixed feelings now when I look in your eyes
Or hear your song.
Summers come and summers go
Time never stops clicking away
I have never felt such hurt and pain
As I have today.
I wonder where you lost the light
And the reasons you had to smile
You are not the only one in this world
Who has loved and lost, guilt shall kill the child.
The past remains in the past
That we can never change
We must forgive ourselves and move on
Stop hurting and placing the blame.
There is so much love inside your heart
Don't throw it all away
For I am as I've always been
But I can't promise you I'll stay.
Tears are merely our own reflection
My heart has broken in your name
I have felt every moment of loneliness, emptiness
That you claimed your own but it's all the same.
I have watched you walk away from me
In darkness and in light
My greatest fear is that you don't find your way back
And realize that I've been right.
Tomorrow has never been a promise
Silence can cut more than words
You hold the power in your hands
Though it may sound absurd.
Take my hand and place it on your heart
Let it all go and cry
Feel my body hold and surround you
And never question why.
Dreams are the things we cling to
All our hopes wrapped in sweet slumber
You will never lose the sound of her voice, the feel of her touch
Though you may sometimes wonder.
Rise up and be the person you truly are
The one you've always been
Reach out for me when you're afraid
Love will never be the ultimate sin.
Nighttime comes for a reason
For the darkness always turn to light
It is there you will find me
Waiting for when the time is right.
Sing your song sweet songbird
Trust the feelings in my heart
There's something about the way you look tonight
That gives me hope for a new start.
