Back On The Shelf

My heart is driven by love 
Living life and having fun
And I’m waiting
For someone to understand what’s wrong
With having more than just one love

It all seems to run the same 
You give it up just to play the game
Then it’s over
I should never compromise my soul
I should never have to change

All I wanted to do was get it right this time
But now I’m here, back on the shelf

It may be the same old song
A ballad one or a sing-along
But I can’t hold it in
And now the tears are streaming down my face 
I never want you to see that

I always contemplate my life
Hold back until the moments right
But it seems my right is just a little too late
And I’ve come to terms with that

Sometimes I need you to understand
How I see this world and what it means to me
But we can’t cross this river
That flows within our lives
If you swim against the sea
