Truthfully

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.
