I tried to tell you
i thought you were the one
i tried to say yes
when you asked me if i had fun
i tried to hold on to you
when you didn't reply
but you kept slipping away
but stayed in my mind
you said you would call me
so i watched my phone
hours turned to days
and weeks turned to months
i tried not to love you
after you disappointed me
time after time
i tried to let go
it took so many months
and so many others
it took more then time
and nights under my covers
but eventually you faded
and i began to think of other people
they were the things
keeping me sane
it felt so much longer
but now i look back
it was only a few months
4 to be exact
not to hear from you
it drove me crazy
you finally called
and said you had missed me
some things were different
but some reminded me of you
i thought maybe this time
your feelings could be true
i didn't forget you
but now i have other things to do
this time I'm older
and know how to get through
i wish you could have been the one
i wanted you to be
but nothing i could do,
could make you love me
