Feelings (mixed and confused)
When I woke this morning
The soft sounds I heard
Of birds pecking the ground
For worms to eat, and I knew
Today was gonna be the day
The day I would love again
For never before had I heard those sounds
Only those of worms being slaughtered
Picked out one by one and murdered.
But today I woke a different person
With no weights on my shoulders
And no pain in my heart
Today was special and I knew it.
But if only one day I would feel this
And I would then rejoice
For although I have again loved
My heart was torn in two.
The day I awake to these pretty sounds
Will be the day that I am cured.
But I wish that this day would hurry
For I'm being crippled from the strain.
If I could choose who I loved
Then the pain may not be so great
But why did I fall in love
When it's certain, it can not be?
Do you hear the birds sing their song?
Do you smile when the sun shows it's face?
Cos you are happy, now and for ever
You'll live with eternal joy.
But I'm not there, in the picture
You're happy not knowing of me
So why do I feel I need you
To get through every day?
When I wake in the morning I picture you
I think of you all the time
I'm falling madly in love with you
But I know that I'll just get hurt!
