I'm always too late
running to catch up
spilling all i feel inside
and it's never enough
procrastination,
gave you to her
and all i could do
is taste the dry air,
of the words i never said
that now echo in my mind
of conversations never had
you don't even know,
and i doubt that now you'll care
i shouldn't have to convince you
that i was always there
waiting for a sign, trying to get things right
wondering if you'd love me back
or if i crossed your mind at night
and now this is my prize,
a taste of loneliness so acquired
that few have swallowed, few have seen
how low you can make me be
i should let it out, just move on
but the chains of yesterday
restrain all forward motion
and so I'll just pray,
for the strength to speak my heart
the next time someone walks in my life
and sets off that spark
but now what do i do,
she's got you in her arms and I'm alone
wishing i had spoken up sooner
wishing i had known..
love comes and it goes if you don't act quickly
whats yours for the moment,
is gone in a second
