Searching for meaning best done internally before moving outward
Really hard to do after suffering from severe emotional burns
Impossible to trust after such mitigating circumstances
Made many wonder whether it was possible to move on
Decided to restart enjoying having a regular party of one
Before adding another variable to the mix; often made things combustible
Decided to work on making small changes on the inside
Before widespread reform on the world
Sounded silly with the complete knowledge that nothing happens
Making large campaign promises until winning election
Simply resting on laurels after hard part done
What a farce when you think about it
A satire that was once a serious matter turned into a joke
Eager to break the cycle of repetitive motion
Starting to turn into a broken record
Needle locked into an endless place
Unable to move from its spot in either direction
Can't go backwards, but can't move forward either
Wondered why still fixated on a broken past
With a person not worthy of a walk in Central Park
Let alone a trip to anywhere in the world or in life
Naïve to think first serious relationship was it
Be all end all to everything flawed in life
Have someone else to focus on to avoid dealing with myself
A human band aid never a good idea to cope with personal demons
A love story that was more a preamble than an actual tale
A warm-up before the main event that lasted longer than it should have
A preview before the coming attractions to something bigger and better
At least, that's my new mantra that's been practiced
Working on overcoming secret thoughts that break-up was my fault
Done with pretending that anything was lost from ordeal
Except my false conception of his true value
Fully aware that the relationship was doomed from the start
Slow to realize it, but understanding now it's fate was sealed
Frustrated that I can't seem to erase the sting and the memories
Know that he was a part of my past and it will take time
To put him in my rearview mirror completely
Feeling dazed from the recent turn of events
And completely confused as to where I fit in
Only need a rock and roll soundtrack to describe predicament
Realized that this story of a broken heart is not special
Many go through this chapter time and time again
Some get married and divorced repeatedly
Maybe, they're love junkies or something
Trying to work out the kinks alone before committing to anything
Especially a walk around a certain park or the block for that matter.
Better to start small before making any long term plans.
A journey meant for someone worthy of the destination.
