Your heart is still at youth,
Lie to me, I know the truth.
Given a chance to prove what’s right,
And still hiding what’s in plain sight.
Is this win or lose?
You should chose.
You say this hurts you?
This hurts two.
Don’t be dishonest,
Be modest.
Don’t try to hide,
Just abide.
Love is a rule,
Some call it cruel.
Why hold on to what’s not real?
That’s an old deal.
The story changed,
So get engaged.
Take a look around,
Listen to the sound.
Don’t hold onto what’s lost,
Don’t think about the cost.
Your soldiers were deployed,
Its been destroyed.
You have something new,
Available to few.
Are you afraid to let go?
Afraid to say no?
Trying to resist,
Looking at a list.
Reasons to return,
Making your heart churn.
Is it worth it?
You’ve been bit,
The poison spread.
Controlling your head.
No thoughts are your own,
No longer alone.
Avoiding what’s best,
Ignoring the rest.
A puzzle missing pieces,
And the pain never ceases.
Two choices,
Three voices.
You’ve tried one.
And just like the sun,
It never stopped burning.
Now look at what we’re enduring.
Only one thing can make it go away,
Don’t waste another day.
Everyone’s known the truth,
Leave the youth.
All trees start at the roots,
Take off your boots.
Climb up high,
Say goodbye.
Look down,
But don’t frown.
Its better to learn,
Than to burn.
