Signs

For all of time she'll never know
Just why she feels this way
Why can't she love as she is loved
And stop this fight some day?

Just one love left in her life
She hurts this man so much
She pushes him then pulls him back
Until he's scared to feel her touch

She knows she's driving him away
And it's really not her fault
Her heart is aching horribly
From each painful assault

She lays her head upon his chest
And feels his gently beating heart
This beautiful man's in so much pain
And it's all done on her part

How can he love her so?
She's really nothing great
She's mean and just so hurtful
And her heart is filled with hate

But he cries when she tries to leave him
He gets angry at her then
The only time he's mad with her
Is when she tries to leave again

He holds her when she cries
For no apparent reason
He loves her when she's hurting from
Another spiteful treason

She drinks until she's sick
This girl she is so grim
She runs away and cuts herself
Then bleeds all over him

He gently wraps the cuts
And kisses all her bruises
The tears fall down his face when help
She once again refuses

When she sleeps he holds her close
Like she just might fall away
He feels she'll never understand
That his love will never stray

And while she sleeps she dreams of him
And how he might leave her when she wakes
She wants to fix their past but she
Will always make mistakes

So don't miss her when she leaves
You know it's for the best
Just close your eyes and try to sleep
It's time you get some rest

Know that she is sorry for
Continually hurting you
And for leaving when you needed her
She needed you bad too

Her pain belongs to her
And she doesn't want to share
She'd rather walk around with her broken self
Holding her sign that says; "Beware."

She hits the road just one more time
Along that broken trail
She won't look back, she cannot bare
How his sign says; "Now for sale."
