It's a little bit harder than I thought it would be
To put into words what's inside of me.
These feelings are crazy and all too confused,
But that's how it is when your heart's been abused
I find that each day brings a new point of view
And I'm constantly changing my image of you.
There are times when I feel that I don't give a damn
For I'm better off being alone as I am.
Then my attitude sways as weeks go on by
And the thought of you leaving compels me to cry.
And sometimes I seethe with anger inside,
Wishing on you all the tears I have cried.
It leaves me bewildered not knowing for sure
If I have the heart to love anymore.
For you left me a heart that's a bottomless pit
And no longer holds love inside of it.
But if that's the way you want things to be
Then I'll step aside and let you go free.
