I Know I Shouldn't

Sometimes the truth is too painful to bear

And life’s complications transformed into fear

My heart becomes heavy and I feel lost

Thinking of tomorrow but seeing the past



I think of crying but no tears to cry

It is so confusing…I can’t understand why

Is this the destiny I hear so much about?

Then why is it so hard for me to figure out?



Control I know…Control I always had

Except for now and it is driving me mad

Makes me want to run to the safety of my dreams

Where it is always beautiful or so it seems



I have gone there to meet you sometimes when I’m down

Cause your smiles in the sunset turns up a frown

Whether you are near or there are miles between us

This place in my heart I could always find trust



I know it is wrong for me to be writing like this

When there is not much you can offer, it’s not me you miss

I know it is bad for me to be thinking of you

I know I shouldn’t but I still do



Please forgive me for my selfishness

For being mislead by the gestures of your kindness

For thinking what I’m thinking and saying it to you

I know I shouldn’t but what else could I do?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Don't know why we do the things we do or why we always find love in the face of the wrong person
