When Caution Becomes Carelessness
Folder:
ALEX Should have known you would get rid of me
As soon as possible,
Should have known you would throw caution
To the wind,
By staying by my side despite this growing
feeling to be on your own, away from this.
I don't blame you,
I just blame my foolish naivety.
Should have known you would see through
to me, should have known you would
Be the hardest thing to let go.
It was never this difficult, it was never so.
It's a whole 'nother game we play
day 'n night,
we are never so lonely. But this thing can
only go on so long.
Things can only bend so far, only so far
'til they break.
We're always testing the limits of each other.
You tell me, "you da fuckin' best,
The best I ever had."
I know the things you say are only your
strange ways of saying goodbye through those
sad lyrics you have on your playlist.
I will not become like those others out there,
stuck and hopeless without anywhere
to go. I promise you I will
Make you proud to see me again,
I promise you I will work until my bones ache;
My head hurts and my eyes are tired.
These words of mine are all jumbled, I hope you know
This was never meant to rhyme or
be logical to anyone but you.
My words never made sense to anyone anyways,
but you. Could Never, could never.
Just know I lived for you, through you,
with you. Only you.
I love you, and always will.
Just please know this, I am not leaving you
I am leaving myself to make myself new.
You know I will come back when
the dust clears and there is light again,
I will be standing there, waiting for you
Like I always do. I will be there for you.
I love you.
