This Rubble Within

Sorting thru all this rubble within

And finding it hard to see just where to begin

I’m sifting through all these questions in my head

Trying to once again find a way to believe the words you’ve said

Behind so many years filled with destruction and pain

I’m taking 3 steps back and wondering if maybe I’m to blame

It never seems to end there’s never a break

Just how many wrong turns can one person make

 

Chorus

I give my all, my very best

yet still I never get any rest.

You take me so high, way up in the sky

Then clip my wings and let me fall yet I never die

How could you take advantage of a love that’s true?

And just refuse to ever see it though

 

Am I just so damaged and too far gone

After all these years still tryin to figure out where I belong

The faces continue to change yet things stay the same

Just how the hell can one man be asked to except all this pain

I know inside me there is a man who deserves all things good

Guess for now I’ll just sit here and hide underneath this hood

My intentions are pure this love is real

Maybe it’s time to lock this door… maybe it’s time to no longer feel.

Chorus

Each and every time you build me up

Say all the right things and do just enough

 To keep me hanging on, to keep me from walking away

Just to rip it all away thru misdirected anger and pain

Apparently to you I am the one who’s to blame

The mistakes of others are my downfall

Or maybe you never did mean the things you said after all.
