I think I'm finally ready
To try to unscramble my head
It's impossible to explain in person
So I guess a poem will work instead
My head's a pretty fucked up place
Where all of my demons are free to roam
You strolled in at my darkest hour
And just made yourself at home
I knew from the beginning
Don't get me wrong
I knew where we were headed
Because you were singing a different song
I don't know what exactly it was
That made me so ready to risk it all
Just something about you
Made me want to take the fall
The thing that I forgot
Is even if you pretend there isn't a drop
That doesn't conceal the fact that
You're standing at the edge of the cliff top
Those couple weeks were spent
Dancing in circles at the edge
I think if I would have looked down
I'd of had warning before I toppled over the ledge
You knew that I was a risk taker
You knew that it was your choice
Maybe I could have swayed you
If I only had found my voice
It turns out I'm not so good with words
At least those not written in verse
Maybe that's why things
Somehow turned from bad to worse
You finally made your decision
And once again my silly heart shattered
Even after one thing had already lead to another
Not that it really mattered
So to answer your question of where I went
I was right where you wanted me to be
I backed off like you wanted
And you were finally free
That's what I thought you wanted
I wasn't expecting you to be upset
That I backed into the distance
And distinguished the two of us like a sunset
I may have been hurt
But I didn't really care
It was what you wanted after all
You didn't think we were the right pair
I don't blame you at all
For choosing to follow your head
Our hearts had something else in mind
But the mind won out instead
I'm sorry I let my heart get in the way
I've never had a friend quite like you
I'm sorry our friendship was tossed aside
Unable to be pulled back out of the blue
I guess all that's left to say
Is I wish we could go back to the way we were
I know I've been praying we could but
I don't even know what you would prefer
So in reality
I didn't really go anywhere
Please know I'm just a call away
Please know I still and will always care.
