lyrics

The Breaking Point
©2022 by: G Polhemus

You talk like you want this love to last forever
Like you never want to see it reach the end
Tell me why then if we are in this life together
Am I the only one here that has to bend

So you said your piece and then you looked away
To blind yourself from what you meant to me
Your actions tell me you’re deaf to what I say
So my life is like vapor for none to see

When it all comes to a head
Leaves me hanging by this thread
And I’m left with only excuses to exploit
You keep changing like the wind
Like nothing was ever said
And you push me once again
To the breaking point

The stars look down upon my worried face
The moon it steals my troubled heart away
The tears I cry exposed to only space
I guess I’ll wake to rise and start another day
To piece together the life we both deserve
After years we spent to gather up these dreams
We find ourselves just bent around one curve
One line to stretch between two distant scenes

When it all comes to a head
Leaves me hanging by this thread
And I’m left with only excuses to exploit
You keep changing like the wind
Like nothing was ever said
And you push me once again
To the breaking point
