That which we fear will meet us halfway

So alone I'll end up, because you didn't stay

I gave too much, not enough, and nothing at all

But now I must begin again and relearn how to crawl

We always crash back into the place we've just come

Like a flame to a moth we attract what we hide from

But there is no avoiding this cruel little irony

For God laughs as we self fulfill our prophecy

Up that hill of regret it begins to draw near

Until we taste the hot breath of our greatest fear

We can cut it, push it, and ingest it away

But it mockingly resurfaces like a debt we must pay

I deny as you lie but it's just too fast

And it gathers it strength from the mistakes of your past

It gains more power from each one of your sins

And I realize what a fool I am to believe I could win

I can't escape it or defeat it believe me I tried

The only thing left is to admit that I've lied

Lied to myself about you I must finally admit

For as much as tried, these feelings won't quit

So for now I'll plead into it's eyes and caress it's face

And I'll wrap my tired arms around it in a soft embrace

I tell loneliness I'm not afraid and I refuse to cower

And I realize my words slowly siphon its power

So, yes that which I fear will meet me halfway

But it no longer consumes me, like yesterday

I have to face it, to own it and learn to be okay

With being on my own because you didn't stay
