If You Go

There is no easy answer, there is no quick fix solution
A simple I'm sorry "band-aid" won't make things all better
And you are a fool if that is what you believe...
Yes, I have always been forgiving
But,that doesn't mean that I'll let you break my heart,again
And I hope that you're still as blind as you were before
Because then, maybe, you won't see that I still love you
And if by chance, you still don't see the obvious now
Then there's hope that I'll walk away from this unscathed...
I cannot give, I cannot take
And I will not let those sleeping dogs lie
This is my heart that we're talking about here
This is my life, and this is your life
So, I will not let the game remain in play
For this is a game that none may win...
You have come here, not truly knowing the reason why
You've simply feigned confidence along the way
Propping up a fragile, but well-crafted illusion
But, I see the fear behind your eyes, burning bright
And so somehow, I still manage to take pity on you
I will not loose my rage on you
I will not chase you out of my sight, or cut you down
I will not deal in anger, for that it not my way...
Say what you have come to say to me,speak now and speak true
Search within the depths of your soul and your heart
And see exactly what it is that you find there...
Leave, if that is what you decide that you must do
But, take nothing with you when you go this time
That I ask of you, my dear
I swear that I will be fine, rest assured of that
And, yes, seeing you again has shaken me like nothing else
Yet, I merely only bruise, nothing has been broken, so far
But, please...please...please
Do not take my heart with you again, if you go...
