Another page, another pain

Why do I write to keep me sane

Here today, you are gone tomorrow

Never know when my goodbye is the last, our time so borrowed

Spending nights with you makes me feel so alive

Then the next day I am stuck with why

So many people for me to give my heart

And you keep breaking it, ripping it apart

But I come back time after time

Traveling across the country, am I out of my mind

To come back and be promised something new

If I could only explain my view

I see things that remind me of before

But you convinced me to come back to your door

Now I'm left alone, feeling abandoned, played out

All my loved consumed by so much doubt

That you could mean what you say to me

When your actions take away the love I see

I'm just your support, somewhere to lean

When everyone else in your life is being so mean

But just as quick as you come crying back to my arms

You've escaped to a happiness, surrounded by harm

Why do I come back here looking for your love

Why do I search for answers from above

So when you go away last time again today

I search in my heart for the right thing to say

To show you how my love for you is so right

As I sit here alone and think of you tonight.
