You're almost there.
Just a few more steps.
You can beat this game,
a lot like chess.
You can move backward, and that's okay.
Just remember to move forward every other day.

Now, I'm no expert,
but you will find
if you keep moving forward,
you'll get your peace of mind.
It's gonna be hard, believe me I know,
for you to show your healing cuts
without feeling like a freakshow.

It's going to get better.
Trust me; just believe it.
You'll finally be relieved of it.

You're almost there.
Just a few more steps.
You can beat this game,
a lot like chess.
You can move backward, and that's okay.
Just remember to move forward every other day.

I see the way you look at me; it starts a flutter in my heart.
I feel the sadness, confusion, and pain throughout my every vein,
Even though we're worlds apart.

I hear your voice; it comforts me. It's like a work of art.
I taste the emptiness of you leaving, even though you were never mine.
I can't smell your cologne; maybe it's time I broke apart.

Using all my senses, I realize you're not a part of me,
And even though I'm about to cry,
I think of your smile and whisper, "Goodbye."
