Peacefully

I've been living alone
Very proud on my own
Did not think I would deal
With this milestone

Yet I feel this lacune
Everyday at high noon
Am I over my ex?
Is it still too soon?

And I don't wanna rush my recovery, no
Cause I might end up inside the same old backflow
In a storm, in the open, in a keyless cage
But I can't let my grief and sorrow take the stage

So I write all my feelings down
To get some closure
That's the way for me
To maintain composure
My heart seemed to live
Inside the simple past tense
Don't let myself move on
At my sanity's expense

Please leave me be
So I can live peacefully again

I try hard to forget
All the things that we said
Tried to cut through the tape
Of our compact cassette

But it's stuck in the slot
Plays the song that I thought
Would make you realize
That our love's overwrought

And I hoped you would get
That I was feeling lonely
You said 6 months
Which was a made-up story
You were gone for a year
And I was just at home
You stringed me along
But boy I have grown

So I write all my feelings down
To get some closure
That's the way for me
To maintain composure
My heart seemed to live inside
The simple past tense
Don't let myself move on
At my sanity's expense

Please leave me be
So I can live peacefully again

Please leave me be
So I can live peacefully again
