Maybe, it was the beer That made things seem so clear Maybe, last night Which turned into this morning Was a little too late To serve as a warning
Babe, I know for sure That the music flowed pure As thoughts through my brain As blood in my veins
I think my thoughts were see-through I said nothing, but still you knew And I was thinking I should go
I felt that I was spinning That the alcohol was winning I couldn’t close my eyes My thoughts would converse, about your lies
So I’m standing on your porch Your hands on my waist, burned like a torch
I said “Please just let me go.” You said “It’s more than this, I know. You have no clue what I needed To say tonight, if it sounds like a lie Then alright, I’m giving up on love, For the rest of my life. This was my last hope.”
I was thinking, This is sounding Like a song you wrote
As the car pulled into view, I turned to you, ''You're not giving up on love, You're just giving up on me.''
You walked, and turned away Paused long enough to say ''Goodbye and take care, Always be happy.''
I had been 'seeing' a guy for several months, one night while I was at his house I abruptly realized I didn't want to see him anymore. He was quite angry when I told him, but I didn't care. I started formulating this poem the minute I got into the cab and whirled out of his drive-way.
