[mood | blank]
[music |Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville]

I've dreamed enough dreams for two
I hear so much sadness I am almost forced to feel it
I cannot bear to bear this weight sometimes
But I tough things out on my own just fine
If they can't handle my independence,
Then I'll have to handle it myself
But once they understand that I am no harm,
I just have problems I keep on a shelf
I lock it up but it falls over easily
And breaks the lock loose
I don't know if I'm looking in the right places
But I'm looking for something new
I feel confident enough on my own,
But it gets me a little down when
I just don't want to be alone
So maybe someone else will come into play
A friend to last at least while I'm here,
Someone who is here to stay
I'm tired of waiting or watching time pass slowly,
My nose in a book,
My back burned from unexpected sun,
My brain and feelings numbed from too much as once
I just want to remember how to feel,
Maybe going home is the only way to recall that-
But I need to be with people who can see me
For more than what I seem to be.
