Overcome
Tear stained eyes.
See no path to follow.
She woke up
In the dead of the night.
She can’t dream
Anywhere beyond tomorrow
Holding on
Is not being alive
It’s the way that she can't say when she knows that it’s wrong
Pushing him away, while trying to hold on
All the things that she should say, and choosing to say none
In her mind
There are no contradictions
She speaks no truths
But she tells no lies
Deep inside
She buries her convictions
Along with everything
she tries to deny
It’s the way that she breaks down
When the rage is all gone
The price she has to pay
To keep from coming undone
Living for today,
She tries to overcome
It’s the way that she can stay, so distant and numb
Pushing everyone away as she comes undone
She knows that she can’t stay
But she tries to overcome
She tries to overcome
Tear stained eyes.
See no path to follow.
She woke up
In the dead of the night.
