SOUR GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)
if I was not alone today
you would be far in the past
I have not moved on enough
to put you in yesterday's cast
that gives you power
that's dangerous
last time you had power
you buried us
the scars are healing
but they're still bleeding
because you're still dealing
cards I am needing
you hold on to some things I want returned
you've become baggage that keeps me from starting again
now I understand what you meant when you said you weren't ready
guess that's what you wanted way back then
mow I understand how the past can get in the way
now I understand and that's why I'm alone today
that gives you power
that's dangerous
last time you had power
you buried us
the scars are healing
but they're still oozing
because you're still cutting
still abusing
somehow I must take back the power
give up the things you hold on to
find someone else who cares about me
and tell her all about you
take away the aura of wonder
relegate you to memory
replace you with someone to love
someone who will love me
that takes back power
that's the only way
when you have no power
you're yesterday
the scars are healing
and they'll heal more
with someone loving me
that's for sure
Power
