When You Wake

One day you’re gonna wake up You’re gonna realize all you’ve left behind You’re gonna call me asking “How ya doing?” “ How ya been?”Say you miss me, that your sorry, that you love me , same of talk of all your trauma Repeated patterns Makes it hazy I’d say if that’s true then where’ve you been?Whyd you leave me ? Why’d you hurt me , why’d you leave me questioning?You said that you needed me so I listenedI know where you’ve been Where you are Is far from where you’re going Where you’re headings seeming rocky I tried to save you , tried to love you time and time again Same old loop you call me up, saying that you’re better nowMy heart tells me lies but my mind keeps me cautious I seen the hurt inside of you that no one knewI saw the love you kept tucked inside of you There’s patterns of emotion telling me you’re not okayMy heart wants to helps you but my mind isn’t the same through every heart ache I wanted to think I could save you , Just to help you, Just one glimpse of teach you how to flyI wanted to , I tried to but i wall seems too unsteadyI tried so hard but I’m losing hope of putting out the fire your life started. So close yet so far away  Flames flourish into doubt as I slowly crept closer Deep down when I looked into your soulStood a child with all the answers Enjoyed by the flame and the feelings it brought  we are always going round Back and forth we dance around each others hearts tho only one remains unmade.
