True Feelings (Roots Before Branches)

True Feelings (Roots Before Branches)

By: Heero Adin Lowe Yuy

Author's Note: This is just something that I want all my fans to know. And hopefully reach someone that I can't get out of my mind. The song is Roots Before Branches by Room For Two).

I plug in the iPod as I sit here, staring at my computer screen wondering what I'm supposed to type for my eight page paper. Faint by Linkin Park, then Hold You in My Arms by Ray Lamontagne, and finally this song comes on… The one that I've recently downloaded but don't want to hear…Roots Before Branches by Room For Two. I remember when I first hear this song and then I look around me. A small coffee shop but I take a look at everyone's faces. Are you her? Why won't you talk to me anymore. Two years… Why?

So many things to do and say
But I can't seem to find my way
But I wanna know how
I know I'm meant for something else
But first I gotta find myself
But I don't know how

Oh why do I reach for the stars
When I don't have wings to carry me that far?

I sit back in my chair and pinch the corners of my eyes. I'm tired. Tired of the games people play on me. Will I ever find her. The person who stole my heart and keeps me writing my songs. I just wish she knew how much she broke my heart…for the second time in my life….

I gotta have roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know who I wanna be
And faith to take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world for me

I'm crazy and I know it. My friends wonder why I'm always sad and it reminds me of the first question you ask me, "Oh...I'm really sorry for asking, but I can't help it anymore...Why is it that when I talk to you...you always seem sad..." Can I forget?

Sometimes I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain is real
Put my head in the clouds
Oh start to run and then I fall
Seein' I can't get it all
Without my feet on the ground

There's always a seed before there's a rose
The more that it rains the more I will grow

I gotta have roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know who I wanna be
And faith to take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world for me

I don't know why I'm always like this. I promised not to hurt myself again and I even promised her. But I still do…I'm always hurt.

Whatever comes I know how to take it
Learn to be strong I won't have to fake it
Oh you're understandin'
Oh but when you come and do it best
There ain't nothin' to stoppin' east to west (I'm not sure if this is right)
But I'll still be standing, I'll be standing

I gotta have roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know who I wanna be
And faith to take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world

I gave her a rose and she thanked me for it. I gave her romance but she denied me.

I gotta have roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know who I wanna be
And faith to take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world for me

I gotta have roots before branches

If you felt the same way as I did, you would know, right? Can you forget your true feelings?
