Can't have you

All I want to do
is run to you
So, that I can
hide from my problems

Daddy is leaving
My sisters are crying
My brother is sad
My mom might be crazy

I'm angry as hell
He came back just
to start a fight
I gave him one all right

But, all I can think about
is you, oh what to do
It's not fair to make you
go through this, with me

I've got to try 
to get you to leave me
I can't be selfish
no, not with you

Though the thought breaks my heart
into a thousand pieces
I'm going to let you go
and if you won't
I'll push you until you break

Oh, baby my heart is breaking

No, David do not argue
Please baby please I'm hurt enough
I know this hurts you to
but, you'll be all right

Because your not the one

Whose pushing your love away
Your not the one who burns inside
knowing that she can not keep
the one thing she'd give anything for

Baby it's your choice
But, please go
don't stay and be trapped
Fly my sweet fly away

Spread your beautiful wings
and take flight soar away honey
just keep going please honey
Don't look back, you won't
like what you see of me

That's all I'll say to you about me

From a heartbroken Alice to David

..oh, I’m quite confused

..oh, I'm quite confused and heartbroken at the same time...why push him (David) away, when you know deep in your heart that he holds a place? why fight the feeling? is your family against this? :(

This is going to be a bloody war. i'm not dragging him through the trenches with me. I love him i know i do so that is why i have to let him go. to keep him out of harms way i'll snapp my heart in two :( Love, Alice Carrying your own battle scars is a sign of your own strength. Carrying others battle scars is a sign of your very soul.

really sad write, I think

really sad write, I think that if David feels about you the same way you feel about him, he'll completely understand and he would definitely be willing to put up with your dad
