i am never letting go

i am never letting go

A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

somewhere out there

"
i know you're out there somewhere somehow
and its only time we have to worry about
we still have time left to heal our selfish wounds
i feel the day is coming where i will find you

and we will right the wrongs, and bury all the pain
we'll climb a rope so high till only love remains
i still believe that i was born for only this
and after all they took from me, i still exist

and each time that i rebuild, i build stronger
and each time i hold my breathe, i hold for longer
i will go on and i'll keep searching everywhere
cause when i close my eyes, i can see you there

they tell me don't put all your worth in someone else
you have to find your pride and live for yourself
they haven't seen the depths, the loneliness i've seen
its not the same for everyone, no one is me

i filled in every hole inside me, 'scept for one
i've pushed beyond, i've broken my heart till i'm numb
i have to see it all, i have to know its real
i have to put to action all the things i feel


they tell me don't put all your love in someone else
before you love someone, you have to love yourself
i wont give up on this, i know there is a way
i know that only love can make it all okay
