Me vs. You vs. My Pen

written by: OurSacredHonor

After all these years
After all this time
I guess I'm still me
Cuz I'm using this same line
I'm sorry, I slipped up
Lost my balance, got tripped up
I never quite can live up
To the expectations
I'm losing patience
With myself I can't take this
It breaks me and I'm sorry
I don't mean to let me hurt you
But I do constantly
And I don't know but please see
That I'm trying
Yes, very trying
And I'm crying from my heart
Cuz we're apart
I'm in the dark without your light
I am blind without your sight
I can't stand up without you to lean on
It's like watching TV without the screen on
Staring into emptiness
Trying to grab hold
Trying to make something
Out of nothing before I'm too old
To do anything I want
Like I always thought I could
I need responsibility
I really should
Get a grip on this life
Once and for all
But here I am again and still I fall
I fell for you
And I've been falling since then
It's hard to stay on my feet when
A girl like you says she's mine always
I feel I am banished here, I'm just counting down the days
I'm screwing up my job again
Throwing away my life
Slipping further I take the plunge onto my own knife
I'm sorry I hurry and I forget you way too much
But it's my wrong way of dealing with living without your touch
I can't get this right I know
But soon I'll be home and I'll show
You everything
That my love can bring
Just stick with me
Keep me by your side
I promise you
That we'll be all right
I'll take this chance and I'll get it right this time
You will always be mine
Always be mine
Time can't change that and I can't either
No matter how much I screw up I'll always be there
I'm sorry and I love you
Here we go again
It's me vs. you vs. my pen
A free for all three-way brawl
That can only have a bitter end
So before I bleed
I shall concede
To you victory
You have all of me
One day I'll learn to do this right
Balance my life like day and night
Futile words from a futile existence that you gave meaning to
I miss you, I need you and I love you
