Standing at the crossroads of love, loss, and lessons learned
Trying to get back what the fire just burned
But the one thing found after searching high and low
Is the difference between giving up and letting go
You can stand out in the crosshairs vulnerable and alone
Spread your arms wide to make your willingness known
You can map your best intentions with a process you've defined
But you just can't change someone else's mind
Go hold the rope real close
Keep your head high and try not to choke
It could take a long time, but keep on trying
There's a perspective found in the mouth of a lion
Your heart hanging open at the end of your rope
Searching far and wide for some sign of hope
But it's a brick wall and a cancer that feeds
On every broken feeling and every burned out need
Then spend your desperate hours and try to make this right
But it all boils down to a one sided fight
You can give everything to keep your heart in line
But you just can't change someone else's mind
Run back down the sidewalk again
But the streets are clear and the loneliness sets in
Turn around; go back home alone
And try to forgive every frail and broken bone
