Back & Forth

By Roderick Veach •
back and forth
be careful son
you don't know what could be done
to you
what they
can do
my eyes are bleeding
I'm on the floor
I find no meaning
anymore
so guard your heart like a fortress door
and keep a watchful eye on anyone who plays a part
and save these letters I write you boy
cause someday you might wish you had more than the thoughts you hold
back and forth
a life time gone
wasted on the ones you thought
loved you
it wasn't true
we carved our letters
we said our vows
none of that
matters now
so guard your heart like a fortress door
and keep a watchful eye on anyone who plays a part
and save these letters I write you boy
cause someday you might wish you had more
than the thoughts you hold
Back and forth
until she comes
the only person you can trust
with you
who you are
in truth
so just be patient
unlike me
and you might end up
where you're meant to be
so until then guard your heart like a fortress door
and keep a watchful eye on anyone who plays a part
and save these letters I write you boy
cause someday you might wish you had more
than the thoughts you hold
