Left of Me

Left of Me

A Poem by Charlène Boutin
"

A song I wrote when I was falling apart.

"

It's been the same for so many years and I

Just don't know what to do

I've been thinking of just changing myself so that

Nobody knows what I've done

But I know...

It's wrong...

To do so...

My mind has been twirling around endlessly

Ever since you came around

It seems you make me want to be someone else and I

Can't help listening to myself

And I know...

It's wrong...

To think so, oohh...

 

Chorus: And I know that my tears

Are the reflection of my life...

And I must let them flow...

 

The old me just tries to get back out of me, but I

Don't wanna let it shout out

The new me just tries to keep you for itself with the

Lies that come outa ma mouth

But I know...

It's wrong...

To do so...

I get many warnings from my conscience inside and I

Just try to walk away

People tell me that I seem to be dying inside, but I

Try to ignore what they say

And I know...

It's wrong...

To think so...

 

(slow)Chorus

(fast) Chorus

 

But it's hard to believe

In myself when I destroyed...

What was mostly left...

Of me...

There's more to this world than we see. Artists are gifted with the vision of this world, and can bring forward these visions to others. The world I see goes beyond my eyes, beyond my own life. I hop.. more..
