and the beating of the drum holds me down
all i wish is to fly but i march on
there is nothing else, the rhythm, the beat
and then discipline, there is also that
i now choose to break in the writing thus

why would you understand?

I wasn’t strong enough to make you stay
I wasn’t strong enough to tell you to
I wasn’t strong enough to look that way
I wasn’t strong enough to call to you
Not strong enough to hold you close to me
Not strong enough to chase after the sun
Not strong enough to really make you see
Not strong enough to tell you we’re not done
Wasn’t strong enough to simply hold on
Wasn’t strong enough to be right beside
Wasn’t strong enough, faking I was strong
Wasn’t strong enough to bring you deep inside
Never strong enough for one such as you
Never strong enough to know what to do

articles of clothing strewn on the floor
we’ve got issues that i don’t even know
just hold that line, don’t walk out the door
i don’t want to spike this, don’t go
so read all about it, there’s nothing to say
headlines have gone out, you’re going away
i’ll just stay here and leave my byline
won’t be adding any angle, i’ll say that i’m fine
all credit to you, i won’t lie
the only thing left to wrap up, is good bye
