Back To You

Why is it

I can't get you out of my mind?

Why is it

your gravity always finds me?

Why is it

the rain only falls when you are gone?

Why is it

I'm even writing this song?

Why can't I convince myself

that you are not the one?

Every time I come too close,

I force myself to run.

But I come back to you every time,

even though I know that you'll never be mine.

Why is it

there's nothing I can do but lie?

It's different

the moment you're no longer blind.

How could I

ever cross the finest line?

I'll just keep on telling myself

that I am fine.

Why can't I convince myself

that you are not the one?

Every time I come too close,

I force myself to run.

But I come back to you every time,

even though I know that you'll never be mine.

I cannot seem to let you go;

The worst part is you'll never know.

And I wish that I could

drown out your words,

and let the vortex inside me stop turning.

But at the same time,

I can't stop my

heart from crying out.

Why can't I convince myself

That you are not the one?

All that I can do right now

is force myself to run.

But that does nothing to change my mind,

even though I know that

you'll never be mine.
