Can you wave a magic wand or cast a spell and
fix what's broken inside me?
I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be
Please believe me when I say that I wish I could.
There are so many things that I wish could be undone
I wish I could repair the damage that's been wrought by others
But, I can't...I can't replace what's been destroyed.
I wish you could make all the demons that haunt me go away
But, I know you can't because I can't let them go.
You told me that you don't know who I am anymore.
Hey, guess what? Neither do I.
I thought I did.
I thought I was strong
Now I know that I'm not
I thought that I was immune to the pain that leaving you will bring
Now I know better...My heart is slowly breaking.
We've come to the crossroads, haven't we?
This is where I have to let go of your hand, my love...
Kiss you one last time,
and turn and walk away before
you're broken too.
