I guess there’s really nothing left to say,
I took my chance and left the rest to fate.
Your smile slowly faded with my name,
and motives for faith just withered away
You’re right, maybe this was for the best,
Your words whipping in the wind, my heart blown from my chest.
I guess I’d like to say you saved me from the flood,
But leaving me behind was never really love.
I’ve spent hours picking at the pieces,
ripping apart sutures, digging for a reason,
But I guess your heart just changes with the seasons,
I’m lying to myself, saying one day you’ll change your mind,
Hoping your judgement of me washes clean like sand in the tide.
I’m engulfed in the scent of you, pungent to my soul,
I’ve been traveling down this road too long, I forgot to pay the toll.
I fooled you with my lies, my dear, softly caressing your ear,
It was nothing but a masquerade, concealing the identity of fear.
You see, my heart is much too fragile, just a little too sheer,
But don’t worry, lover, I’ve saved you one last tear.
With knees blown out, I’ve been crawling blindly in the dark,
Desperately trying to find my way back into your heart.
You told me I’d never figure you out,
Yet isn’t that what time was all about?
But you stepped out and never gave me the chance,
you left me behind with an empty grasp.
I’m sorry, It was wrong of me to expect your stay,
But I just didn’t think I’d so quickly fade away.
Fade from your thoughts and fade from your lips,
The bittersweet taste of spearmint and cigarettes.
