Paved With Good Intentions
|
|
I've walked this path with you so often,
I know it's form by heart.
And now, as always, my footing's unsure,
on its unstable and rocky start.
I second-guess each step I take,
for fear I'll slip and fall,
that one wrong step will lend me to,
an end that ends it all.
One misplaced foot, one careless word,
an avalanche begins;
the tug of war of heart and mind,
til one of them finally wins.
Each time I've walked this troubled path,
we've ended the journey together,
but each time I fear that to walk it again,
will tear us apart forever.
I haven't the strength to walk it alone,
nor the energy to fight with you,
but everytime you take this route,
you drag me down it too.
I don't know how to stop you,
from traveling down this road again.
I've fought you on it time and over,
only to start it over again.
I'm tired of fighting, tired of yelling,
and tired of what's "right" for me.
My heart is yours, it always was,
your love is all I need.
So take off those boots and rest a while,
ignore the siren song.
Just take comfort in the love we share,
unshakeably, eternally strong.
