Hope
Hope is all I have when it comes to you
Hope that you feel the way you show me
Hope that you understand I won’t leave so easily
I deserve better they say
But all I want is you
And who am I to make such a demand
I scare myself when I don’t make such demands
Trust no one
who watches my back more than me?
Who made Lana see?
When promised you would never leave
You walked away from me
Crumpled me up and tossed me away
Grabbed a new sheet, striped black and white
I am told you crumpled that up and tossed it away
Or did you file it away?
You picked me up out of the trash
smoothed me out against a table corner
Start fresh with the old paper
Who will never be the same
