Here We Go Again - Beth Crowley

Here we go again

Our game of tug-o-war

For me it’s real now

I’m not playing anymore

You try to wear me down with your pretty pretty words

Just when I think I’m done

I’m halfway out the door

You pull me in again

Promising to give me more

Yet I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt

I reach out to touch the flame

Cause I refuse to think it burns

Retreat and lick my wounds

But of course I never learn

You’re a rocket to the moon

I’m stranded on the ground

Come back for what you lost

Let me show you, show you what I found

Here we go again

I lose myself in you

Your love defines me in a way I didn’t want it to

If I keep holding on

You’re going to bend me til I break

I’m coming face to face

With what I’ve always known

That I am terrified of who I am when I’m alone

But now it’s time to choose

Which one of us I’m going to save

I reach out to touch the flame

Cause I refuse to think it burns

Retreat and lick my wounds

But of course I never learn

You’re a rocket to the moon

I’m stranded on the ground

Come back for what you lost

Let me show you, show you what I found

You could be

The greatest chance I’ll never take

You’ll always be

My worst and favorite mistake…

I reach out to touch the flame

Cause I refuse to think it burns

Retreat and lick my wounds

But of course I never learn

You’re a rocket to the moon

I’m stranded on the ground

Come back for what you lost

Let me show you, show you what I found

And here I go

Again
