A Letter to Georgia

How can I explain to you The picture of this avenue The rain falls on the street outside And I wonder why on this Tuesday afternoon I sit alone inside Same four walls I lived inside So many lives I lived and died None so much as I lived with you I see you on the highway A thousand miles away Rain falls through your hair and cheeks Your tears and mascara streaks Your face reflected in the glass Lines in the pavement go past Just like the lines around your eyes That held the weight of endless sad goodbyes Everybody that I know Thinks that I should just let you go You run from everything you see You hurt the ones you love like me But here I sit and picture you Your fingers worn and your shirt torn too Your heart so big and broke in two Your mind drifting through all you knew Afraid to love Afraid to lose Afraid to start Afraid to choose Afraid to live Afraid to die Afraid to let the days slip by Afraid you'll change or stay the same Afraid you'll lose yourself again Afraid of the truth that love Can cause you so much pain I know I felt it too I know, I know Darling I wish it wasn't true
