just a little

letting go
is the hardest thing to do
I don't know if I can
it means so much
losing you is the start
the dream
and all the future
the happy feelings
the pride
admiting who you really are
making you human
with flaws and all
hit the floor
it's time again
grow up a little more
stop living in make-believe
maybe I don't want to
what does that mean?
I lose
you lose
who wins?
I guess it had to be
leave it alone
hold on a little longer
it only hurts for a while
deny myself
and all the selfish lies
maybe what they say
is true anyhow
I should have known
But that means-
not that again
Reality
Oh! why do we have to feel?
why
you were such a lovely dream
you always came through
shining on a star
smiling on forever
deny you?
no, just what I want
stop the false need
what is it that it takes?
give up on all dreams
but what does that leave me?
Oh! not that again
I see what I said
letting go
hurts only a little bit
make you human
flaws and all
hang up on a miss dial
wait this time
for love to call you back
