Memories fade in and out
It is without a doubt
There's just no way to forget
This deep feeling of regret
For not being better than I am
But you're as far as Uncle Sam
So when tales or two are told
There's always that lack of hold
That keeps a hole between two
The pain ever so true
Distance is a grudge harbouring mistress
And difference is a hateful princess.
So now that you're indifferent about me
My feelings haven't changed selflessly,
I must let you move on, no matter how much I want you back,
But if I could rewind time like a vinyl track,
I'll rewind it to where I first talked to you,
When I was coated in nothing but blue,
But you helped coloured me in rainbow,
I still love you but all I can do is say so...
Should have known to let you fly free,
Even when I felt stuck and lost at sea,
Should not have been the shackles holding you down,
Should not even make a sound....
But somehow I betray my conscience,
Because you were my drug of dependence,
And I can do nothing but say sorry,
For the chains, the shackles, the locks and lack of key.
Go fly free with your new lover dear,
And when it gets all dark, don't fear
For you found the light you deserved,
As for I, I'll make myself reserved.
One thing though, don't seal your mind with a lock,
No matter how dark,there are people willing to knock,
And try to understand you.
It'll all be somewhat new,
But don't shut yourself off.
You deserve the world.
But the world doesn't deserve you.
