Clarity

I need for you to know

I need to be more clear

My signals were not enough

And so now clarity will bring understanding

I need for you to know



You need to leave me be

Allow me my own time

To decide where to go next

Take my cues and understand

That you just need to leave me be



I’m a man striving for my own happiness

Though I have no idea what that looks like

Career? Wealth? Friendship? Or love?

I just don’t know

But I continue to strive for my own happiness



I need to right my own ship

And set my own life straight

Lots of soul searching to do

And thoughts to be thought

So I can right my own ship



Right now I’m all about myself

Working on the things

That get me through my days and my nights

In hopes of a clearer tomorrow

Right now I’m all about myself



I’m not so sure what you see in me

That makes me so special in your eyes

I feel I have nothing to give, lost in my world

Enjoying yet dreading the solitude of my life

I don’t really know what you see in me



Love will come again one day, I’m sure

And I’ll know it when I feel it

It may sweep me up unexpectedly

Or be right there where it always was

But love will come again one day



I want you to understand

That right now I have no love to pursue

None for you, nor for anyone else

No time for love, only for life

This I need you to understand



Should the day arrive

When I believe that you’re the one

I’ll come to you with arms wide open

And rejoice in the joy of love again

Should the day arrive



Just don’t pin your hopes up

There’s no promise in my words

Who’s to say anyway

That you’d still be around

Just don’t pin your hopes up



Please don’t dream a fruitless dream

Take heed my words

Love has no rhyme or reason

And one way love is a hopeless love

So don’t dream a dream that may never happen
