Too Familiar
written by Avy Summerlind ©2011

the past is only the past
I’m so much I’ll outlast your memory of me
I’ll take this on
I’ve walked alone this far

it’s almost too familiar
it’s almost like I’ve been here before
it’s almost too familiar
when all I wanted was some change

forgotten and off-guard
now there’s nothing left
but a walking target
too blind to see through
to where you already are
and I thought I had
come so far

it’s almost too familiar
it’s almost like I’ve been here before
it’s almost too familiar
when all I wanted was some change

here we go
over, over
I know
there’s something missing
I know
it keeps me from moving forward
it kills the momentum
and I can’t get it back

it’s almost too familiar
it’s almost like I was better off before
it’s almost too familiar
when all I wanted was some change
when all I wanted was some change
when all I wanted was some change
when all I wanted was some change
