you got you're way

very quickly written..

You've got your way

And I’ve got mine

While your wounds pour

My words flow

From the pen to the paper 

To your eyes

So won’t you read beyond the words?

The hidden messages in each verse

I’m trying to tell you

What you already know

 

I want to save you

But I need you to help me

I need your help

If you want to be saved

I can't lose you

But you're pushing me away

With every closer step I take

I want to save you

 

The stains wouldn’t leave the bed

So I burned the sheets

And erased the memories

And I know the feeling all too well

You feel you’re alone

You're feeling too weak

No strength by yourself

That's why I’m giving you my hand

If you don’t take it I can't

Help you through

What you’re going through

 

I want to save you

But I need you to help me

I need your help

If you want to be saved

I can't lose you

But you're pushing me away

With every closer step I take

I want to save you

 

And

No, no, no

You're pushing me away

With every closer step I take

And I've tried, tried, tried

So many times

It’s getting harder to stay

As heavy as this rests on my mind

I think it’s the only choice

So I'm walking away

I can only pray, pray, pray

That you’ll learn from your mistakes someday

In any relationship, you can only meet the other person halfway, no matter how hard you try. I particularly liked the lines:

"The stains wouldn’t leave the bed
So I burned the sheets"

Reminded me of looking stains and remembering the lovers who left them.
