For Reasons Unexplained

Casey Stratton

Everything was going so well

I don't know what happened

A smashing sound and suddenly

I'm falling to the ground



If I had just held on for once

If I had been more

Confident in myself

Maybe less afraid of everything

If you had not been painful for me

If you had been more honest with me

I might have made it



Sorrow comes again

For reasons unexplained

I come to you

But I am not the same

You sense my fear

Tell me it's ok

A cross to bear

I pull to far away



All the world can see right through me

I feel shattered and paralyzed

Mistakes have been made that left me

Crashing through the ice

I feel so alone



If I had just stood up for once

If I had walked right out the door and into

Something more than we could get

If you had only learned how to stop

If you had been more than you are

Then maybe we could have survived



Without regrets

Without the same tired thing

I will release you

Like shooting stars

Of who we are

Of who we were then
