What its about



As I walk into this empty room, a sense of foreboding and impending doom
I tried so hard to save a life and now in turn might cost me mine
Why would someone run away?
From a place they found that love will stay
 Why would they return to hurt and pain?
 That they know will come again
Why would they trade the good for bad?
 The love for hate- the happy or sad
 These are the things I may never know
But only for my love can I let go
And hope what you seek you will find inside
 For you can't find truth in a house of lies
And trade your pain for the joy you seek
I hope this for you, even not with me
Because sometimes love is letting go
 And turning away from what you know
 Trading the knowledge in for faith
Some times will give you much more strength
 But to your heart always be true
And righteous in all that you do
Don't be like people you despise
Be aware and open up your eyes
The love you seek is all around
In the ones that never let you down
While searching for the love for which you yearn
 Don't forget it needs to be returned
Remember who it is you can trust
Who treated you fairly- who treated you just
Don't betray the ones that trusted you
 Be loyal and worthy in all you do
Don't react on how you feel
Feelings in check find what is real
Water is not necessarily thinner than blood
 Because what it really is about is love
