If I knew in my heart, <br />I was right. <br />I would not fight... <br />I'd walk away. <br />Not from a feeling of weakness. <br /> <br />If I knew in my heart, <br />I was right. <br />I would not fight. <br />I would be bleeding inside... <br />From wounds I self inflict. <br /> <br />Knowing whatever I chose to do, <br />You would pick until I shared with you... <br />Ignorance. <br />And so much of that, <br />Has gotten us off track. <br /> <br />If I knew in my heart, <br />I was right. <br />I would not fight... <br />I'd walk away. <br />Hoping one day... <br />Your mouth would shut! <br />And your ears would open. <br /> <br />If I knew in my heart, <br />I was right.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
