Little Vacation
© 2005 Violet Vonder Haar

I don’t wanna lie
and I don’t wanna bring it up again,
too afraid I’ll lose my mind.
I’m lost and confused
tryin’ to find my way all of the time.
He was falling away
and I was running behind.

Chorus:
But I keep it all inside,
‘Cuz I don’t think he wants to hear.
I keep it all inside,
‘Cuz I’m still not sure.
I keep it all inside,
‘Cuz I don’t want him to have to care.
I keep it all inside,
‘Cuz I don’t wanna remember anymore.

And I know he hates it
when I tell him how I feel,
‘cuz he just wants this whole thing to be unreal.
But this is as real as real can be.
‘Cuz there isn’t a day
that it doesn’t leave my head,
where I see him with her instead.

Chorus

Now don’t be confused
‘cuz I still love him, yes I do. But there’s a time for hate,
and there’s a time for love
and sometimes I’m standing in between the two.
And there’s a place where people
they go to make mistakes
and I guess that’s where he took his little vacation
and there’s a place where people forgive,
and that’s usually where I live.
But I don’t want him
to turn my feelings off like a little light switch,
‘cuz I still want him to know how I feel about this.

Chorus

I don’t wanna lie
and I don’t wanna bring it up again,
Too afraid I’ll lose my mind.
