Pin me down, show me how

Something that I felt today, something that I heard
Swingin’ from the chandeliers, hanging on your word
I remember watchin’ you, once upon a time
Dancing from across the room, in another light

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

I can’t sit here and tell you, as the mourning period starts to wane, what I learned from this whole relationship. Usually I learn something from every guy I date, even once. But I’ve been thinking about it a whole hell of a lot and can’t begin to tell you what learned. I need to figure out what I learned so that I can stop seeing that relationship as just a massive waste of time.

Lookin’ back to find my way, never seemed so hard
Yesterday’s been laid to rest, changing of the guard
I would never change a thing, even if I could
All the songs we used to sing, everything was good

I also won’t lie to you and say I don’t miss him. There’s times I do miss him. But they’re slipping away like water down the street and now the overwhelming feeling is dread. Because I know, I JUST KNOW, I’m going to bump into him before the 2 months are up and it’s gonna throw me. At the same time, as much as I don’t want to see him AND I DON’T WANT TO SEE HIM a little part of me wishes I could come home and have him be sitting on my stoop, wanting to get back together. I’m not sure if it’s because I need the validation or because I need to reject people like I get rejected. So sometimes I just want to curl up in my apartment and be a little weak. Be a little insulated from the world around me and not have to deal with the possibility of him.

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

One more year that you’re not here has gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you?
One more tear that you won’t hear has gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you?

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

But I can’t do that. I have to live my life as if he’s not coming back because he isn’t. I have to go on as if I’ll find someone else better because I will find someone else better. I will love more and laugh more and be more. I just need to be stronger. I can be stronger. That much I can do. Wait. Be stronger. Wait. Be stronger. Wait. I can do that. I have to.

A little bit of resolve
One more year that you’re not here
Has gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)
A little bit of resolve
One more year that you’re not here
Has gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)
