Most Things Are Easier Said Than Done

An emotionless shipwreck, caught up on the shores of loneliness
and the rocks that pierce through this, are the last words you said to me
I can't understand how I've gotten so attached
and yet I've got so much life left to live or do i?
I'm the kind of person who looks at the bigger picture
rather than what's been shoved down our throats
i can't forget the way you made feel, and I hope, given the circumstances,
that we may find our way back into our arms
but it seems almost impossible to reach you dear.
my window of opportunity is lost in the fog of the future
and our steps we take now only dictate where we'll end up
so we're not going anywhere running in circles.

I wonder about the men and women and children who've never felt the love of another
and i wonder are they the lucky ones or the unfortunate?
i can't decide anymore on much of anything.
my mind has become a grave for ideas to rot
because no ones listening to me again, and i can't say it feels great
am i that much different from you?
take off your shirt and show me your bones
show me your skin, show me where love comes from
because i had found it inside you
it was hard to find, and hard to attain
and i enjoyed the climb but wasn't ready for the fall

now here i lay, wondering who's next to catch your eyes
and i can't lie, but i die a little inside from the news
broadcasting from your mouth, straight into my ears
like a silencer held right up against my chest
the trigger will be pulled multiple times
and i'm wondering when will i become numb
when will i give up on love?
because if everything eventually ends
we were never worth it from the beginning
and you said, "ian, you're so pessimistic.
did i not mean anything to you?
what we had was great.
it had it's place, it had it's time. time to move on.
now sweetheart you know better than i do,
we all need to be alone, sometimes."


i can't forget the way you made me feel
i know from experience we had something no one had.
but like you said girl, "we all need to be alone, sometimes."
i just wish i wasn't alone.
take my heart away, it's yours to keep,
i've figured out, i don't need it anymore
so until you return, hold it near
because you're holding me.
