Strength

I'm not going to sit and lie to you
And tell you everything I say is true
I just can't figure out what to do
To take the pain away when I tell you that we're through

Maybe it's too much to make it rhyme
But I figure I'd have at it one last time
My love has simply turned on a dime
When I was sure we were at our prime

It's not as true and simple as I try to make it appear
Losing you is one of my greatest fears
But it's unfair to lead you on for years
To come to you with trust and leave you in tears

So if the sun don't come up after tonight
Don't worry everything will be alright
And maybe just maybe you might
Take your love to someone who can treat you right

Don't try to understand my feelings now
I'm the one feeling them and still don't know how
I could one day need you and the next have doubts
That love is for fools that don't know what it's about

Now I'm not writing you this letter to say
I can't love you anymore so please go away
I'm writing you because I cant go on this way
Feeling like I need you and still not wanting to stay

It's the route I've decided to choose
And I don't need you to tell me what I have to lose
But sometimes even truth leaves a bruise
And you don't deserve to be used

I guess that this ends my little song
I pray that making it rhyme I didn't go wrong
But soon I know that you will be strong
And find the courage that you've had all along

The words rhymed so some of it didn't come out right.
But I think that my message came through
And if you hate me forever I'll understand but won't agree
This just felt like the best thing to do
