The pressure in your chest that quakes
The tremor in your voice that breaks
It isn’t what you meant to say
You didn’t mean to feel this way
The stinging in your cheeks, your nose
The sniffle before the damn will blow
It isn’t what you planned today
You didn’t mean to feel this way
Once upon a time it was all abstract
Once upon a time there was no need to act
It isn’t what you wanted to know
But that’s just how the story goes
Once upon a time you believed in this
In dragons fought, in true love’s kiss
The ending’s not what you would’ve chose
But that’s just how the story goes
You wake up in the dark of dawn
Your body’s heavy, but rest is gone
If you could tell the world to wait
You’d promise you’ll begin again someday
The pressure in your chest still quakes
The tremor in your voice still breaks
You’ll find what you mean to say
You’ll find you can begin again someday
With Love,
Natalie
