I wish I had known who was standing in front of me,
Before I had to watch him leave
I wish I could have gone a bit deeper, trust his intentions,
But when I’m scared all I listen to is my apprehension
I wish I was brave enough to give us a shot
and if you chose to let me go
i know it was just my fault.
And so it goes
Bracing myself for the worst,
going out of my way not to get hurt
Building enormous walls
and then beating myself up for it all
My only hope is that you know
You deserve all the love
I was reluctant to give you
Maybe someday, when we find our hearts to be relieved
from all the things that are troubling them
We can start all over again
far away from this pain
This was my miscalculation. I make many, nothing new.
I hope it’s not too late to make it up to you.
