I continue loving you from a distance,
That one chance you had, you missed it.
You lit the flame, I ignited it, so I'm the one who's to blame.
I let you in, tried to open you up, while knowing what I was getting involved in...
You cut me off when I needed you most, tried to warm your heart, when I saw you were cold,
we've grown so close became vulnerable.
"I should have known."
Now I'm here, with my heart strings bleeding , because you cut them by leaving.
Right when I needed...
I pleaded...
But you're cowardly conceited...
You're afraid of love,
I can see it in your eyes,
"Don't look away."
No need to masquerade,
I see it through your cold disguise,
"Please be brave."
I know you want it,
you're suppressing it like I.
A part of me already knew you would do something like this...
I didn't want to believe that it was true.
Why would you start pretending I never existed?
"Just like I predicted."
You dismissed it,
Instead of trying to fix this.
