Getting by
Before you
I didn’t even have a slightest clue
On what to do
With my life
I didn’t know how to spend my day
I didn’t even know what to say
How to act
Sometimes I forgot how to walk
I would fall
Like I fell for you
Yes, I fell pretty hard
Now that you’re gone…I have to stand up
I find it hard to walk
But still…I can’t give up
I’m still going to talk
I’m going to continue to test my luck
This time…no screw ups
You deserved the best
I was one step from the worst
You saw me better than the rest
To me, you seemed like my first
We put each other through a series of tests
Until…we finally burst
I never hopped for the worst
Only the best
I guess it’s what I deserved
I got to go back…and re-work
This doesn’t require any team work
This is… “Me” work
I’ve been a jerk
You have too
But I caused it all
I caused us…to fall
I destroyed that stone wall
This world may not be small
But you…and I…
We can own it all
This time, we won’t fall
We will both
Stand tall
We will get by with life
And re-create
Our little own
Paradise
