cause the day can get so long
and i know, its hard to make it throug, when you say there's something wrong so im trying
i'm trying to put it right, cause i want to love you with my heart
all this trying, has made me tired
and dont, even know where to start
maybe thats a start
cause you know its a simple game that you play, filling up your head with rain
and i see you, hiding your face in your hands.
flying so you wont land.
you think noone understands
noone understands
so you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
and your ... coming more soon

So today, i wrote a song for you
Today, I expressed my feelings for you through this song
cause the day can get so long
Because the day can feel never-ending
and i know, its hard to make it through, when you say there's something wrong
I understand that it's difficult for you to cope when you're feeling troubled
so im trying
Therefore, I'm making an effort
i'm trying to put it right, cause i want to love you with my heart
I'm endeavoring to fix things because I want to wholeheartedly love you
all this trying, has made me tired
Constantly working on this has left me exhausted
and dont, even know where to start
Furthermore, I'm uncertain about how to begin
maybe thats a start
Perhaps acknowledging my uncertainty is a step in the right direction
cause you know its a simple game that you play, filling up your head with rain
Because you're aware that you engage in a self-destructive cycle of negative thoughts
and you know, you are hiding from your pain and the way, and the way you say your name
You're conscious of the fact that you're avoiding confronting both your pain and the way you express yourself
and i see you, hiding your face in your hands
I observe you concealing your face in your hands
flying so you wont land
Escaping reality to avoid facing your problems
you think noone understands
You believe that nobody comprehends your struggles
noone understands
Truly, no one truly understands
so you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
Consequently, you slump your shoulders and gesture disapproval
and your ... coming more soon
And your... (the remaining lines of the lyrics) will be disclosed in the future

So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know it's hard to make it through
When you say there's something wrong
So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tired
And I don't know even where to start
Maybe that's a start
For you know it's a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you've been hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name
And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you won't land
You think no one understands
No one understands
So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway you're not here enough to care
And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end
And it's strange how you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
Well maybe you should cry
And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking 'bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands
And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
You're standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move with you

Dont be sad its over, be happy it happened. I felt the same way when i lost my first love, it hit like a train and I didn’t know what to do, but i look back at the fun times, and how happy i was. It was some of the best times of my life. It makes me smile to remember the dumb stuff we used to do. Now i smile at the memories, the places that we would be at, and just know that those places will still have the memory of us. I hope you, and others, read this and feel the same way.

@georgeharrisonfricklas7927

@kalihaynes6664
I cry every time. My first love use to sing me to sleep with this song. He would run my head and whisper in my ear. I’ve never felt
More safe and loved. Someone understood
@Ericstroman100

@ThePretlord
I hate growing up... so many hard choices, giving up on people but the memories remain, and God this songs brings backs so many. I just wish to run away from reality, or make clones of myself, living up all the possibilities
