Purgatory Here I am once again in a place I've been before Seems everything leads back here it's behind every door And I don't wanna stay but I can't seem to leave Stuck in my own private Purgatory It all starts the same way-- with a wink and a smile And everything seems like it's great for awhile But the laughter, it fades and the tears fill my eyes and again I find myself asking, "Why?" Did I love you too much or not show it enough? Was I just too damn weak or did I come off too tough? It would drive me insane if I just cared enough but I've got a lot to learn about love It doesn't take much to crush my tender spirit Just one broken word-- I don't have to see or hear it When I feel disregarded, I get so broken-hearted and that's all it takes to set you free I won't argue, won't say a word, won't put up a fight Won't get on my knees and beg you to start treatin' me right Cast my eyes to the ground and start on my journey back to my private Purgatory Did I talk too much or did I not say enough? Was I too sensitive or was I playin' too rough? Was I too good for you or just not pretty enough? Guess I've still got a lot to learn about love ~by Nikki 3/29/08
