Crossroads- a thorny choice

i walked through the thorns when you left
i dragged my heels through the thorny hills and valleys
i rolled over the mud
covered myself with paint and blood
to disguise my anguish and pain
and hide myself from within
i gave you everything
but you still left me in the rain

i suffered in drunken silence
i choked in my own pool of tears
i cried my heart out
but you were so deaf to hear my pleading
you busted with your goodbyes
and poured bucket of insults while
i opened up my emotions in frail gesture

but i guess love's full of struggle
in every corner of laugh lies a cloud of sorrow
you are my dark weakness
you ran away with my heart
and deep inside i still feel empty
lost without your disguise
i just totally lost you in the dark

i am trying to find my way back
but i always lost my track
keeping up my pace
can hear my hearbeat pounding in the alley
my footsteps are dreary
looking back to where i left off
to where you left me out

i'm here standing right in the middle of exhaustion and pause
should i go... should i stay...
should i burn the bridges behind
or just another water under the bridge
i'm standing here at a crossroads
can't figure which way to go
part of me still lingers in your direction
part of me wants to move on

the wound's still fresh
the bleeding had stopped
the storm is gone
sun ray's coming
brand new day is opening
the approach of spring is here
all we need is a brand new beginning
