The Tango of My Life

Posted by Drageda on November 21, 2009

I’m leaving this party
I’m out of this town
I’m not your play thing
I’m not your friend
Being true to me first
Means I’ll love again
This story of mine waits for me
To create the middle and the happy end
Since you took the beginning
there’s one thing I control
that’s this journey,
and what I see around that bend

I dance and cry
Does that make sense
No it doesn’t!
One moment I’m spent
The next I’m beginning again
The tango of my life
The tears of my song
Bring me along this journey
a million miles
so long, so long, so long
to this world of wrong

Driving a million miles away from you
Makes me true
True to me, And what’s ahead
Yesterday I fell, I cried, I lied,
Today
I drive, I drive, I drive
Away from you
Where I know I’ll find me,

I’m sad
I’m scared
I’m lonely
And you know
I’m anxious to know where
This road leads
With the dust behind me,
And the sun above,
I’m ready,
I’m moving on

Don’t cry
Cause I’ve stopped
And what use to be tears
are sunshine spots
little specks of hope
all dried up
they’ve taught me to cope
to push on, to see around the corner
to dream of what’s ahead
to leave my past behind…
enough said!!!

it’s time to drive, a country mile,
a long country mile,
time to look ahead
time to say one more thing…
see ya bye, the end!
