Strangers

another cloudy moonlit night
just like strangers passing by
in a crowded world way too small
run into one and know them all
 
different faces with the same intention
sounds so sweet but forget to mention
how they use people for their gain
swear they've learned but still the same

drowning in the shallow end
water so dark pretend it's cement
act so coy just trying to avoid
anything real they use and destroy

it's just another storm passing through
perfect timing couldn't come too soon
cut the ties between these heart strings
there's nothing worse than losing me

I've got to change and resign
break the pattern of this design
stand my ground and find myself
step away from becoming someone else

can't live up to their expectations
don't they see they're really limitations?
wearing their 50 shades of beige
when I can't and fear I'd fade away

but I won't apologize this time
 stop pretending everything's fine
all I ever wanted was honesty
but truth drowns in low tide of a blackened sea

drowning in the shallow end
water so dark pretend it's cement
act so coy just trying to avoid
anything real they use and destroy

it's just another storm passing through
perfect timing couldn't come too soon
cut the ties between these heart strings
there's nothing worse than losing me

stand my ground and be myself
step away from becoming someone else


Love Always,
Lainey
