Can't turn my
back on yesterdays
too weak to
walk away
Too lonely and
to scared to leave
too heartbroken
to stay
I won't forget
your hopes and dreams
how you shared
them both with me
And how you
offered me so much to learn
and so many
things to see
I may have taken
it all for granted
trying to protect
myself from you
And I held inside
my feelings
not knowing
what else I should do
You used to understand
all this
comfort me when
I cried
But now it makes
no sense to you
so I hold it
deep inside
I can't deny
that things have changed
and change more
every day
And I won't
deny that should be enough
for me to walk
away
But you have
heard my voice shake
like it does
when I am scared
And you have
listened to me cry
when I felt
like no one cared
So please don't
think I listened
when you told
me this was good-bye
And please don't
think I understand it
Just because
you've told me why.
