Foolish

Make like a tree and leave
You come and go as you please
There is two sides to you
You pass me by like a breeze
Then comeback like a gust of wind
Now I’m the center of your attention
But it won’t last long
You have no clue where you belong
But I guess that’s karma
The theory of the Dalai Lama
I should look at the relationships I’m destroying
Rather than concentrate on the ones I’m building
I am only one man
But there is people who need me
Waiting for my help, sitting there bleeding
I need to give them something to believe in
I’m supposed to be a role model
But where have I been?
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
It’s time to turn back the pages and go to square one
You were never there for me
I had it all wrong
It was all about you all along
What about me?
I’m glad I opened my eyes to look and see
I realize now who I want to be
With you I was just a shadow of myself
There is plenty of fish in the sea
I have to switch gears
And take a look at the family tree
Drop the axe and catch the falling leaves
Soon I will be gone
Walking down the path of life
But the fork in the road cuts me in half like a knife
Which way do I turn?
Each path is a lesson I need to learn
But all I care about now is to get away from here
Leave the rules behind
I’ll be fine on my own
Get away from this broken home
There are people worse off
But I still deserve better
When you can’t even forecast the daily weather
One day tornadoes are spinning
The next
The sun is out and the birds are singing
It’s the same shit
Different day
Different week
Break this routine and climb the highest peak
Reach the top and look down at the world below
The city glows
From the radiant light
In the middle of the night
I jump off the edge
No ground beneath my feet
As I free fall into the street
This is a feeling I get
I have my regrets
But it took two to create this mess
You just want to sweep it under the rug
You couldn’t care less
You took your shots
But I’m wearing a bullet proof vest
One day I will be gone
Away from here
You will see something has disappeared
But I can’t leave yet
It would be selfish of me to forget
I have to make some more time
And not make him wait
Before he thinks I was never there
Then it will be too late
I am foolish for the risks I have taken
I am young enough for the mistakes I am making
From front to side to side but never back
Only a true fool will do that
