Life Lessons

You know that I don't cry anymore

I drain the pain away, through vacant, hollow eyes

A different season and another storm

Water colored droplets falling from an August sky

You know that I don't play anymore

Can't take the way I get surprised

It's hard to hide out when storm clouds pour

And all I'm begging for is dry

**

I think maybe you've got the feeling

It's getting harder to pretend

I guess seeing is believing

Sometimes good things come to an end

I've done my best to keep illusions alive

I just can't afford to love for two

You may not believe it, but I really tried

I'm at a loss for what to do
