I sat here, wondering
Where did it all go wrong?
Was it when I said something?
Was so afraid to let you down, that I did exactly so?
Was I just a fragment of your imagination
Something to pass the time?
You had me at hello
My heart was hooked
I let go of something greater than my existence to be with you
And in return, I got nothing but a broken promise and a broken heart
Should I have done it any differently
Should I have loved you another way?
Or maybe it’s just that I’m too great for you
Too much of a challenge for your little mind
Too much of a burden for your soul
We weren’t soulmates
I would have told you if we were
I was blinded by desire and lust
The desire for physical contact
I let it get to my head
That was the problem
We planted a tree we couldn’t take care of
All the leaves fell and you left
Each leaf as a promise you broke
They all fell down, and I saw the truth
You’re scared of love.
You’re scared to let someone in
You’re scared to get hurt, yet you’re the reason why you get hurt.
