Mind Is Not
I found your pictures on my closet floor
The only way of knowing you were here before
And I no longer get waves of tears anymore
It's more like a thunderstorm
Waiting to explode
Never was dry
Enough rain to last a lifetime
Sleeping with no lights on
Dark comforts the storm
Years passing like the blink of an eye
Still punch drunk at the end of the night
Not drinking like you think I am
I'm more along the lines of sipping at an empty can
I do it to forget things about myself
Crashing over head, feeling dead
I don't think I will get caught
My heart is with you
But my mind is not
I no longer feel attached to you anymore
There is a way we can work this out
But you have to be here to hear the words come out of my
Mouth
That's why I ended this game of “I'm okay,”
Because we all know there is no way
That I'm living it all okay
They say this could not last forever
But I know that now it has been forever
I cannot imagine being you
Locked in bars
Driving cars
With guilt right behind you
I was once like a stalker
But now,
Saying that feels awkward
I cannot imagine being you right now
Caught by the cops
Feeling hot
My heart is with you
But my mind is not
I no longer feel attached to you anymore
There is a way we can work this out
But you have to be here to hear the words come out of my
Mouth
That's why I ended this game of “I'm okay,”
Because we all know there is no way
That I'm living it all okay
And now
If I am going to go somewhere now
I would already be there
But to you
No way no how
Because you left me here
To cry
Now it is my tears I dried
Now it is your turn to see me walk away
Because I am not okay
And you were caught
My heart is with you
But my mind is not
