But I...

Maybe it will be okay,
I want to believe you when you say
that it will all work out one day,

But I don't.

I know I have to pay the price.
(To them) explaining won't suffice.
I want to take my own advice,

But I can't.

They're focusing on all the cons,
yet tell me not to be withdrawn.
They tell me I should just move on,

But I won't.

Friends say it's not my fault I didn't see
the lies he might have fed to me.
Friends say "You wouldn't have done that if you knew what was to be",

But I would.

One friend says "Do what you feel is right"
she says to not give up the fight
and not to doubt love's perfect sight,

But I do.

My mind says leave it alone for now
but my broken heart does not know how.
More hurt right now I can't allow,

But I might.

They say I shouldn't push yet they do shove.
They say it wasn't meant to be from above,
They tell me it's him I shouldn't talk to or love,

But I refuse.
