Metronome

I'm not everyone you thought I could be
Torn for trying, split personalities
I am tired, I'm in pain, I'm loosing my now
You wanted so much more than I could ever give
Going back and forth, a metronome, I wanna scream

I prayed you'd love me, I prayed you be there
You left me for dead, hanging by my heart last thread
No recourse but to send thoughts slinging back and forth in my head
A metronome feeling throwing me into a frenzy
No resolve, no rational, nothing to ease me

You sent me to a metronome of pain
With you love and stoic hate
Say you love me like you use to on those sunny days
And leave behind the mind shattering hate of those cloudy days
If it is love, then tell me
If it's not then leave me be
I can't take this trip, this pull again
No more promises of love you can't keep
I'd rather sleep alone than never know
So please don't leave me swinging, just let me go

A metronome, my heart is beating
A metronome, my mind is shaking
A metronome, you are so alluring
I wish I could stay away and keep on going
But like every metronome swinging
I always come back to you
