Kate Voegele

Tuesday at 2 AM long after you said goodnight
I put the coffee on, strong and I bought me some time
The roses you left me were dead on the desk to my right
A subtle reminder that nothing's designed to survive
Love overcome is a battle half won
The view from both sides of the gun
I'm so afraid to be ready
To change all these locks
To disconnect the dots,
And I just can't take the pain
Although make no mistake
'Cause it's time I untied all the knots
'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not
Well that's a ship in the dock
The wind's packing up and I'm looking above for a sign
Your photograph hanging a moment just clinging to life
But I've seen the top of those trees on the opposite side
And if the grass isn't greener
Then I'll know at least that I tried
Cause I won't let myself live in this world of what ifs
