I want you to tell me this is over
Release these words from your quiet mouth
I need this closure from you
The silence sparks sleeplessness
I don’t know what this was
But I’ll be missing it
I don’t want to be pushy
But you’re bringing out the worst in me
I’ll ask you the simple question
Tell me if this is the final chapter
Should I drop the pen and let ink dry?
I can’t leave you without a final goodbye
A part of me wants to continue
But I know this is the end
I was looking to understand you, not change you
Maybe this has been over for you
Your silence gives it all away
I should know better but I’m a hopeful soul
I can’t leave this heavy door open
My arms can’t take the pressure
My shoulders can’t support the frame
Understand it needs to be closed
I’ll need to lock it before it’s opened again
I can’t let these feelings loose into the world
I know I’m being desperate
I need to work on myself
But just this one time, please tell me what I need to hear
