Seeing you leave with your packed bag

makes me nostalgic, I never had

the courage to empower you

and its making me feel all blue

say the prayers you prepared for me

play your games again on me



your big hands, and your face

will be remembered until the day

comes when you ask me

ask me your question

until the day where we say

where we say everything



don't turn your head

and give the shake of shame

don't walk from me

and leave me in your path

I never really knew

how much I love you

and it may seem wrong

writing a song

don't tell me I was at fault

I just wanted you to smile for once

where I was the only one

and now we're all done



shaking your hand and greeting your face

hoping you'll leave it all for me

praising your empty hole

thinking you'll come home

I was your best friend

and you left me crying

and I wanted you near me

but you resisted



cry for me

dry tears

facing fears

my dear

I hope you get your new board

I know you weren't the one

but you entwined my thoughts

and it made me fall



through dark holes

my own home

was no more

and the leaves fall



why me

fight me

hold me

love me

while I hope for your future

it's going to be bright

hoping that we're together

in the same light



but I know that I am asking for too much

and you know that what we had would never go too far

maybe, just maybe dreaming wasn't right

maybe, just maybe leaving wasn't right

so you can go with your packed bag

and wave me goodbye

you get in your car and go away

not knowing the difference
I guess i wasn't clever enough...
I let the chance clip through my fingers
Maybe, just maybe it would've been different
Or, it would've been MUCH FUNNIER IN REAL LIFE!!
