I Lost To Me

I see pictures day after day

I look at you, in every single way

I can't seem to stop this

Althugh it seems so dumb

I don't know how to stop this

And I can't go on, I can't let you slip away



I lost to a person

Who never knew myself

Such a saddend story

Brought to the depths of dreams

The in-betweens

The everything you ever wanted to be

Everything I thought I had in me



Back when you were still in high school

I'd sing to you on the phone

Its been years now, my piano feels alone

I cannot begin to explain how

I want you to believe in me

Because if I can't believe in me

With all our history

I do not know what you see in me



I lost to a person

Who never knew myself

Such a saddend story

Brought to the depths of dreams

The in-betweens

The everything you ever wanted to be

Everything I thought I had in me



I lost to me

The only person who could screw it up

I lost to me

My life ran away with my dignity

I lost to me

I feel like such a fool

I lost to me

How can I stay in-tact when we go to a different school



I lost to me

This is the end

Only one more way to mend

To start over, again

To explain, I cannot begin

I would like to

But I know I can't

You just have to trust in me

To be everything I say that I will ever be

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was looking at old and new pictures of *you* and you were so happy both then and now...so it isn't you...it had to be me.
