One Last Try

Please don't be mad
I will not stay long
I know I'm not invited
And soon I'll be gone

Though I cannot leave you
Without saying a word
Yes I know that you left me
But I need to be heard

It's not at all fair
You having the last say
So please just this once
Let me have it my way

Yes I know he's up there
Alone in your room
But please hear me out
Before you resume

I know you don't feel
At all the same way
Nor no longer love me
This is why you don't stay

If you'd just explain
What I did that was so wrong?
Maybe our love
Could again become strong

I will promise to try
So much harder for you
To have your love back
Anything I would do

Yet I stand all alone
At your front door
Just as so many times
I've been here before

Trying to find courage
To ring your door bell
Rehearsing these lines
For you I want to tell

But I then hear you both
The sounds that I dread
And there's no point me reviving
What seems already dead
