If I give this to you, please don't set it down
If I give this to you, please don't let me down
I don't want to go back to that sulky, weary pit
Where overlapping footsteps lay outlined, as I stand and dwell on it
Wondering how did it get there, or who's fault it is
How long it'll take to get over this time, pondering the solution to this
inconclusive quiz
You could bet a million bucks, better yet all the money you don't have
You've been here as well, wondering how much longer
this is going to last
Cry all you want, supply the best ply made for tears
But
Heartbreak has no time nor essence, for it can take away everything
you deserve and give you everything you fear
Mind juggle thoughts or lay in sorrow
Pray that a better day is near to follow
Call a friend and ask what to do, but
In the end all that's left in despair is you
Write a tall tale, as this you have just read
Listening to my thoughts, reading all that I've said
