Second-Guessing

You're not going to be a repeat of the ones before
I already have this tell-tale sinking feeling
You told me you wouldn't be like they were
But unfortunately I'm used to promises breaking

If I said too much, if I was too clingy
It's because you're the first good thing in a long, long time
But I don't want to be that person who's always too sticky
If you say the word, I wouldn't call you mine

But I don't want you to be a repeat of those before
My walls are down, I've given too much
Given too much to let you go. If you walk away now
You may take the last of my love

When I am with you, I can't believe it
There is something to be said for "too good to be true"
I know in the past, that's all it ended up being
And now I feel... that it may be with you

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I don't want to see you go
I don't know if I could take one more loss
Do I dare ask what I do not want to know
Or do I wait 'till waiting kills me and avoid it at all cost

I don't want you to be like those before
You were special and I felt like I was home
But I'm not gonna fight if you don't want to keep me
I don't have it in me; I am not that strong....

Elsewhere

Where once was no hope, now there is,
And sorrow comes from knowing it is there,
Only out of reach.
Where once was a void, now there is light,
A light you cannot feel, but must walk to 
For a time.

A taste of goodness leaves you wanting;
A taste of fullness leaves you empty.
But there is yet a Fullness elsewhere,
Oh, my soul, be reminded.
There is yet a Fullness elsewhere,
Oh, my soul, if you can find it.
