Looking But Not Finding
I keep thinking I'm going to break,
No matter how much I try.
I feel like I'm falling
And yet
In this moment I'm not even high.
I feel like I'm falling apart
And I need to talk this through
But we’ve both gone missing
And inside me there is a search for you.
People call out.
They see the girl with my face
And even when they shout
My mind is in another place.
Some know I'm gone
And some think I stand here in one piece
But most are wrong.
I am here.
Here in my heart.
Reliving the memories that made me chose
I'm doing what my family told me
But I feel I've not much to lose.
And have I told you?
There is a search for you far away.
Because despite myself
My emotions of anger tend to stray.
And I am not so hurt or weak anymore.
I'm just trying to do the things I do.
And even if you chill me to my core
There is nothing I've found
In my hopes of getting over you.
And in this is a past you never knew.
