Here We Go Again
Here We Go Again
Sometimes I see it coming.
sometimes I feel it start.
It’s like a storm is brewing,
I start to fall apart.
So much to be happy for,
these tears I can’t control.
The product of the brokenness
that used to be my soul.
One day on the mountain top
there’s nothing I can’t see.
Next day when I’m waking up
the mountain sits on me.
With darkness all around me
and the shadows closing in.
I grab my heart and hold on tight
cause here we go again.
All those fears come rushing back
there’s no place I can hide.
It’s not much new it’s what I do
just one more storm to ride.
I bared my soul so many times
no more I must confess.
It’s not about the goodness
or the strength that I possess.
I’m right back where I used to be.
I’m right back where I’ve been.
I’m not where I want to be
and here we go again.
