i can't.

i've seen the look in your eyes.
a thousand times as i pass you by.
as it were every other day.
to my dismay this was the way
you captured my heart.
you captured my soul
only to hold it tight.
but with all my might
i try to let go.
because only the lord knows
that this old story goes:
there once stood a girl
who loved enough for the whole world
but was burned too many times
now fine are her lines.
so i've seen that look in your eye
as i passed you by
a thousand times
to save myself
the hurt and pain
i walk around alone and mundane.
i may fight again one day to regain the strength to win the battle
the fact of the matter is...this.
if i give in, and let you win. then letting up on the war will be my biggest sin.
