I've Been Told



I've been told
That I can only hurt so much, and then no more.
I can only love so much, and then my heart itself will run dry.
I can only miss someone, so much, and then even helplessness will numb itself
That time, time is something that will always leave me embarrassed
About my faith in my emotions, my beliefs, my love
And make a fool out of me.
That I'll only ever know I've been fooled once it's too late.
That someday, I will realize I've been silly....
And hide away from my past lovers, once I can't begin to imagine why I ever fell in love with them in the first place.
That I should hide away from the one I love anyway, until I can fall out of love.
That until I fall out of love, I will believe they're mine in every breath, even if I know they're not.
That it doesn't pay to not let people escape your heart, once they've escaped from your life.
That they will escape someday, anyway
That I'm my only enemy
That I can live, love, fall again
That everything can be just okay and that's as good as it ever gets
I've been told...
I've been told...
I've been told...
But I'm only a fool
And I will only ever, hurt so much, love so much and miss you....just so much.

The Kind Of Smile

"What are you looking for?"
"A smile..."
"Oh! There are plenty of pretty smiles here.You'll find one."
"That's not it, I'm looking for a particular kind."
"A particular kind? What kind?"
"The one that has nothing against me."

But You Had To Know

I wish I had whispered in your ear "There's more, there really is more."
But when I saw you that day, I knew, Nothing I said could ever surprise you.
