How could it come to this?
Where did this fork in the road come from, and why didn't we go the same way?
I thought we were on the same path
How come you suddenly sped up and I couldn't follow?
You were always right there
With a goofy grin and cozy arm
Laying beside you was my favorite thing to do
Everything with you was an adventure
It always felt brand new
As clumsy as I was, and as much as I fumbled my words.. I always felt the best around you
How come you took that away?
It feels like it must be something I did
Something I said, something I forgot to say..
I've spent so much time wondering and missing you and the "what we could've been?"
I've surpassed the time we were actually bonded together
But, I just didn't see an end with us
Things got hard sometimes, but that's just life
I always thought we brought out the better person in each other
How can you forget the endless laughter?
I haven't forgotten my endless tears..
How come you have?
Why does it feel like you strung me along to continue to satisfy your needs?
Afraid to be alone when she wasn't around?
How could I be so pathetic that I sat there and let my heart break just so I could keep a piece of you..
A piece
A piece I also lost
There was no battle
There wasn't a war
Just you surrendering with your white flag and vanishing from the battlefield
As I stood there bruised and battered
Crying and falling to my knees pleading
How could you let me do that?
I wanted a clean break
You clung onto me and I let you
So whose fault is this really?
I retreated so slowly
Always looking over my shoulder
Whispering "come back"
But, you're not
If you did, I wouldn't even know what to feel
You left when I needed you most
Difficult as I could be, I was always there when you needed me
But, this isn't tick for tac
I wish letting go meant what it says
Yes, I've let the idea of us go
But, I still miss you
I still wish on that tiny star in the sky sometimes
How could I dream of you, when you don't even think of me?
It's not about actions
Or words
Just facts
And the fact is, I'm still asking "how come" when you're not even asking "How are you?"
You started a spark, which caused a fire
How come I wasn't around to watch it go out, and how come I didn't see you throw water on the flames?
Why are these silly sad tears back on my face?
When do I start to be angry and resent you for all this?
Why is it that I just can't?
I still remember everyday we spent together like it was yesterday
I see my smiles in pictures
They've all faded
And my hearts become a broken record
And a stomping ground
How could it come to me almost wishing we'd never met, so I wouldn't have to hurt like this?
