A Song to Sing

Song: A Song to Sing

Artist: Hanson

 

Good-bye old me. Good-bye all the things I imagine and wish that I was. Good-bye living in that imaginary world, living in my head. Good-bye to wild wishes, dreams and fantasies that will never be reality because I can't change the past no matter how much I wish I could. Good-bye past. You are the past and that is where you shall remain.....in the past. Good-bye obsessively thinking about people on a daily basis, trying to dissect exactly what it is they think of me. Good-bye judgmental, self-loathing, worst enemy, critical me. You are no longer welcome in my life. You are mean and cruel. You are nasty and you are unwanted. Good-bye to the security blanket that I have wrapped myself so tightly in these past few years. You are fake. A waste of my time. And energy. You aren't worth the hurt and pain I feel when I realize you aren't real and you never were and never will be. So I'm letting you go. And I'm setting myself free. From these thoughts, these feelings and this old me.

 

 

 

Hello real me. Kind, scared, sweet, timid, loving, compassionate, shy, nervous, happy, sad, me. I hope to get to know you better. The real you. I promise, I will come to fully love and accept you just the way you are. It might take some time, but I'll get there. There will still be hard days ahead and rough roads to drive across. Each day I will need your 100% commitment to working on loving yourself. Each day will require all your time, energy, patience and focus to make make it through. But we will make it through. We might make mistakes. And fall back into old ways and temptations. But we can overcome. I promise you will be happier. I promise you will find a way to love yourself. Because you are a good person. You might not be the funniest or the prettiest. You might not be the most confident, eloquently spoken and expressed person. But you will be you. And that is good enough.

 

 

 

 

Goodbye four leaf clovers.

Hello gone awry

Don't cry the fight ain't over

Unless you let it pass you by

I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.

I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'
Of me.
Oh...
You've been thinking of me.
 

All that I have found in reason,

Is reason just to not believe.

And all that you are left is treason.

Is treason just to let it be. 
 

I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.

I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin'
I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'

Blue yonder dreams

And second hand shoes

You're so far gone,
That you're left to lose.

It's too late to go home

All alone.

Your the tar in that

Old cigar

And the worn out cable
On a cable car - and,

You're too tired to admit

You've gotta choose. 

I'm looking for a song to sing,
Looking for a friend to borrow.
I'm looking for my radio.
So I might find a heart to follow.

I've never been this
Longing for your lovin'
I've never been so
Wearin' down to nothin' I've never been just
Looking for a reason.
So maybe you've been thinkin'
Of me.
Oh...
You've been thinking of me.
