All I Ever Am

  • I think too much of all that's gone
    Of how it was before my thoughts
    Obsessed with choices made for sure
    In ignorance of history
    And consequence as more and more
    I misremember hopelessly

    The way love turned out every time
    Was never quite enough

    I lose all my life like this
    Reflecting time and memories
    And all for fear of what I'll find
    If I just stop and empty out my mind
    Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
    All I hold to in belief
    But all I ever am
    Is somehow never quite all I am now

    I think too much of all to come
    Of how it will be after I give up
    My weary dance with age
    And resignation moves me slow
    Toward a dark and empty stage
    Where I can sing of all I know

    The way love turns out every time
    Will never be enough

    I waste all my world like this
    Intending time and memories
    And all for fear of what I'll find
    If I just stop and empty out my mind
    Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
    All I hold to in belief
    That all I ever am
    Is somehow never quite all I am now

    And all for fear of what I'll find
    If I just stop Writer/s: Robert Smith
