Rock and Hard Place (6/16/2006)

It’s hard to admit to myself that I may have been wrong
I get along but the pain has gone on for so long
I tried changing my song to make everything perfect
But I lost track of the reason and lost sight of the purpose
Cause in this circus of life where everything is twisted
I thought they were special and that they were gifted
But when I see the tears inside of my own sister’s eyes
It quiets my pride and puts some thought in my mind
About the times that I let their opinions get to me
And the times that I spoke, and their words had come through me
When I questioned what I was doing even though I was right
And when I gave up the fight cause of where I sleep at night
But I feel it’s right, she’s simply finding complacence
A girl that is growing and is still finding her placement
With a love in her heart to fill what is missing
The same kind you might see when you start reminiscing

It’s a tough place to be in, between beliefs and good reason
Between knowing what’s right and still wanting to please them
But should we all walk away from the things we believe in
And ignore what we love with every breath that we breathe in
Or every time that we see them, we see their whole disappointment
Cause we let them both down, in their mind’s it’s a treason
So many damn choices with something that’s so easy
When life’s calling to you and proclaiming “just seize me”
But their looks are so freezing, why can’t someone relieve me?
Should we chase what we love or give up, make it easy?
The line may sound cheesy, but it’s our life to live with
And if it all feels so right, then it’s what we should stick with
And it’s what we should live with and what we should lean on
It’s the passion to drive us and remind us to keep on
Cause one day it might be gone, a loved faded forever
But for now it’s right here and it helps keep life together
