my heart is breaking
i lay and i wait
its not worth taking
so i closed the gate
i wish things could’ve been different
but time carries on
you only know what youve lost
when it is gone
i will think of you often
thats for sure
attraction is fleeting
but love is pure
too many things got in the way
they seemed like excuses
every other day
one minute you wanted me
the next you pushed me away
so i made up your mind for you
because it wasnt a game i was willing to play
im sorry if that didnt suit you
but you needed to know
that if i wasnt the one
then i needed to go
i wish you luck
in all of your things
i hope you cleave to your future
and what it brings…
