Control

I've heard it all before
I don't want to hear it anymore
Everyone has so much to say
A comment, a critiscism, a judgement
And it seems that you're silent
The only one I want to hear from...
I suppose that your silence says more
Than all the words you've ever said
And, although the moment has passed us by
I cannot seem to turn away...
You turned away, walked away
Then you stopped, and glanced behind
Now you stand still, so unsure
Confused...Conflicted
And it seems that now, the shoe is on the other foot
You feel the fear that I have felt
And the choice that you need to make
Weighs heavy on your shoulders, on your soul
(Maybe your conscience too)
I'm tired of wasting time
Waiting for you to make up your mind
Choosing not to choose, time after time
Thinking that life just happens to you
That you have no control
You have all the control, dammit...
This is the time
This is the place
And all I can tell you, unselfishly
Is to follow your heart, wherever it may lead you
It's the only thing in this world worth following...
And I, tonight, drop to my knees
Praying, wishing, hoping
That your heart leads you back to me...
