Put Me Out (It's Over)
by Jersey D GibsonI've tried to hide it,
but I can't sleep at night.
I know we've tried this thing a million times...
but put me out, 'cause I'm on fire.
Don't talk to me,
if you aren't going to tell the truth.
So say what you have to say...
and break what you're gonna break.
Every time I call you on the phone,
I listen to it ring, but no one's home.
I can't explain the energy you give me...
when I'm left all alone.
Every time I pass you on the street,
you won't even turn and look at me.
I'm through with this now...
so take me and blow me away
Are you gonna run away?
Are you gonna run away?
Are you gonna run away...
and leave me here alone?
I'm too scared to move,
too scared to lose.
Tell me what I am suppose to do...
too strong to hurt, too weak to crush.
Fill me in, turn me inside out,
Sometimes I feel like letting go.
Sometimes I feel like giving up...
letting go and screaming out loud.
The only difference I see,
the only thing between you and me.
I have the will to do the damage...
try to make us last.
Tried so hard to not walk away,
when things didn't go my way.
I still carry on just the same...
but you just let me go.
Put me out
Put me out
Put me out...

| Posted by Elle O'Connor on 11/09/05 at 02:00 PM I agree. This is wonderful. The emotion expressed is powerful. It's straightforward pain.
"Put me out cause I'm on fire," and "break what you're gonna break." I think she broke MY heart a little. Nice job. |

| Posted by Elizabeth Seago on 06/03/07 at 07:45 PM What a painstakingly beautiful outlook on love and all it entails. A birds eye view of the pain, as opposed to the mushy gushy. I'm handling the same sort of situation right now, and it's enough to shatter a soul. I love your vivid honesty, and the pain and the genuine heartfelt outpouring of emotion that went into this piece. Thank you for writing this. :) + Favorties. |
