Forsaken
(Tracy Elliott)
July 1, 2000
I wrote this song for one of my good friends. She and I both were at stages in our lives where we were scared of trusting and letting other people in. This was written on the plane ride back from visiting her for the first time.
Forsaken
She says "you're an extension of me" so why do I feel so cut-off
And I think she like being taken for granted but I still take the time to notice her
She says "I don't have any friends" so why do I let her lean on me
And she like taking the time to give so why do I still feel denied
I sit here in my misery
I'm flying in and it's 10 pm
I'm coming home to myself and it's lonely
I'm forsaken
Forsaken here with you
She thinks she's the tide pushing people away but she's the undertow pulling us in
And she always expects the worse when I say things turn out for the best
She's enduring the world's pain but I think she must be immune to it all
And she always seems to settle for less but I still give her more
I sit here in my misery
I'm crashing in and it's 1 am
I've come home to myself and it's lonely
I'm forsaken
Forsaken here with you
I'm wondering should I let her
Let her inside of my soul
I don't know
I'm wondering should I let her
Let her know me at all
Let her know me at all
I sit here in my misery
I'm waking up and it's 9 am
I'm laying here by myself and it's lonely
I'm forsaken
Forsaken here with you
