Finished and Done

Finished and Done

February 18, 2015 7:37am

I've been trying to be finished

I've been trying to be done

But so how 

You keep creeping back to me

I threw away your pictures 

I stop playing your song

We both ran the race

You're the winner

You won

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done

I erased your memories 

I'm tried of your lies

Disguised as love

Your sad alibis  

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done 

I gave you my heart

I gave you my time

I was your rhythm 

You took my lyrics 

Lost without my rhyme

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done

I don't mean to 

I don't want to

But I love you

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done 

Move on with your life

Leave me be

Go sail your ocean

Let go of my heart

And leave me my emotions 

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done 

I surrender 

You've won

I've been trying to be finished 

I been trying to be done 

I'm lost

I can't win

With one touch of your skin

Makes me melt like honey

Here I go again

I've been trying to be finished 

I've been trying to be done
