How Can I?

How do I really know
What is really coming from the heart
When I cannot hear it whisper
Because it only falls apart.

How do I really know
How I really feel
When everything is going wrong
And my nightmares become real.

How do I really know
What I need to say
Because I don't know what you want to hear
And It'll come out the wrong way.

How can I leave
When I'm stuck in the past
Looking for a future
But the thought of you holds me back.

How can I know what to do
When I hate to be alone
It kills me to not be with you
I don't want to be on my own.

How can I let you go
When I don't know how to move on
It's been so hard lately
And I'm tired of pretending I'm strong.
