~ 8 ~

Take this bleak a dreary day

I didn’t want it anyway

Break the dawn

Or so they say

I thought I would just drift away

Because that’s what I thought you wanted

I thought you’d be okay

To never see the light of day

And I guess I was a fool

For listening to the whispers

Of my evil little mind

the further I drifted

The more I cried

Filling the waves with my pride

You screaming at the shore

But I had brought no ore

Because that’s what I thought you wanted

And I didn’t want to fall privy

To the mind of love I made

So instead I said goodbye

And chased the bottle

You threw into this ocean long ago

I guess I had to go

I had to go

I had to go

The choices we make

Are easier to take

If we swallow them with the thought

Of no other way

Make the choice to stay

But yet I had to go

I had to go

I had to go

Away
