i was hoping
you'd say
don't leave,
please stay
i was hoping
you'd say no
i need you,
don't go
i wanted you to
ask me to wait
ask me to just be there
tell me that
yeah, you do care
it's just that
the timing was
never right eh?
wrong place
at the wrong time
that's what it all
adds up to right?
a mistake
we never
should have made
a line we never
should've crossed
should've kept walking
should've looked away
ignored those eyes
i should have never stopped

i don't blame you
never that
you were honest
from the start
every flaw
every conflict
every card laid down
i chose to be there
chose to stay there

so what happens now?
when you finally admit
that you want me to quit?
will i continue to
fight for you?
i would if i knew
i'd have the slightest chance
but i don't, never had any
never will have any

do i say goodbye now?
do i walk away now?
i would, you know
if it will make everything
alright for you
i should. . .
