Only the Weak Fall in Love

And for once you made a promise that you almost tried to keep
It was surprising that you heard me when I started to weep
I never thought you’d care about a reputation, but I guess
I never really could ever read you with much success.

With your picture on my wall and your words in my head
I sleep alone at night while wishing you were in my bed
You stayed here but once but permanently left your mark
Not only does my bed feel empty, but so does my heart.

I guess I could have just given you a knife to slit my wrist
For it would be exactly the same as this last deadly kiss
But instead I gave you something that just wasn’t quite enough
Yet it was really all my fault, because only the weak fall in love.

For once you told the truth, but I would have preferred a lie
Those words were more then enough to kill me deep inside
I was shocked to hear you saying that this never really began
But then again, I never asked you when I took your hand.

I must have had it coming, because I’m the only one who cared
It seems to me that you were more then just a bit prepared
But I was unaware that things were changing so fast
I should have known better because my realities never last.

I guess I could have just given you a knife to slit my wrist
For it would be exactly the same as this last deadly kiss
But instead I gave you something that just wasn’t quite enough
Yet it was really all my fault, because only the weak fall in love.

And again you broke a promise that you promised to keep
So I’m writing you this letter before I cry myself to sleep
You set the bar too high for me to ever rise above
Now I have my lesson learned; only the weak fall in love.
