lyrics

I was hanging on dear by a thread
when you left you shook the contents of my head upside down
like a snow globe
precious memories were scattered to and fro
I stood naked wondering where the fuck to go

I lost some old friends and I made some new
put my foot back in my mouth
then I lost the new ones too
I'm learning to keep some things to myself
I'm learning when to walk away
and when it's just as well
I'm learning how to watch my step
so I don't slip away
hoping I'll arise one day and feel ok

I met a man who looked nothing like you
he was sad and broken down
so I tried to help him too
all the best of my intentions always leave me with regret
and fixing others hasn't healed me yet

I'm learning to keep some things to myself
I'm learning when to walk away
and when it's just as well
I'm learning how to watch my step
so I don't slip away
hoping I'll arise one day and feel ok

one day at a time they say
but how many left to go?
the more I look inside myself
the deeper the wound grows
am I manic?
am I crazy?
am I meant to be alone?
I don't know...

but I'm learning to keep some things to myself
I'm learning when to walk away
and when it's just as well
I'm learning how to watch my step
so I don't slip away
hoping I'll arise one day and feel ok
hoping I will learn to love myself some day
