Red Light

by Brenda   Jun 3, 2009


I looked in the mirror yesterday
I didn't even know what to say
Face so sad, eyes so red
The person so empty and dead

The journey through pain
Is nothing like rain
More like going to hell
Don't know myself that well

Love was so perfect and worth it
Wanted to be with her every minute
So beautiful on the inside and out
Together forever there was no doubt

She became lost and confused
Here I go again always have to lose
Held on and wouldn't let go
Never give up was all I would know

What was I supposed to do?
Move on and say forget you?
People say time will heal
I don't think they know how I feel

I tried to do everything to say goodbye
It just felt that I was living a lie
But one day at a red light
There was no reason to fight

I closed my eyes and thought to myself
What do I really have left?
I had nothing, no one there beside me
I open my eyes and it was the first time I could see

I forgave myself for hurting
And felt proud for understanding
I let the one I love go to be happy
No more holding her back, no more about me

I look myself in the mirror today
I didn't even know what to say
There was a real smile on my face
And I know that will stay in place
