Backwater
looking back
I guess I'm still partly there
and I'm holding her misty hand
maybe I'm guiding now instead of pushing
and I didn't want to smother
what started out so open
slammed in my face
leaving me glassy-eyed with tears falling free
unashamed to hurt, accepting the pain with solid lip
sometimes still dying all inside
that final day we said still friends
and I believed it, but to you
it was the token to throw
let me fetch it while you run away
I can't stand to be so alone
with so much to give
so confused, so stubborn, so Connie
What happens now?
nothing happens now
I can love you despite the rest
and I'll deal with that on my own
the tactile hug, the simple matter you deny
stay away, hold back, stop feeling, you want to get away
be yourself but don't break me
cause you stood tall when I looked to you
and now all I see is the sky
