Blew It
The world I had with you is over
This time we are done for good
I won't forget the magic
Even if my brain could
Pessimistic I have always been
I'm being honest
More
Becoming more bitter and sad
Since second you walked out the door
I see truth so clearly now
In the open for everyone to view
Sensed it under the surface for awhile
Convinced myself it wasn't true
Difficulty harasses at each turn
Am unable to function at all
Too exhausted to carry weight of the planet
I collapse to the ground and crawl
In each direction lies certain failure
Nowhere safe to go
I spin circles in our small spot
Consumed by vertigo
Opportunity passed me by
Is never coming back
Too much time wasted on you
I can't get my life on track
The optimist sees glass half-full
Never really was my perspective
Looking on the bright side of things
Proved being ineffective
In each challenge thrown my way
Fight for success with no luck
By my overwhelming weakness defeated
Lack of self-assurance has me stuck
The chance I had at happiness
Blew and so you're moving on
I don't know who's fault it truly is
All I'm sure of is that you're gone
