Second thoughts...

by lost   May 4, 2007


I told her today
How I felt about you
She got mad
And her friend started threatening you
I tried to explain to them
That you had done nothing wrong
That everything that'd happened
Had been at my hand
How are you to control
the way I really feel,
How were you to know
what was to happen that night
Maybe you did let it happen
and everyone is right
But how could you not
I was holding you so tight
I'm not saying I believe them
When they tell me you're leading me on
I'm saying i believe
That you'll be better off
The moment that I leave
So when she'd finally calmed down
I sent her this last message;
I don't know what all you've told her
And i do not want to know
But when she comes up to me
With tears in her eyes
Holding the note you've given her
I'll wipe away her tears
And send her off to him
He is the one she loves
He is the one she needs
And when I send her off
I'll be sure to let her know
That the reason I am leaving
Is because of you.
We were fine up until tonight
You made me realize
That I'm just messing with her mind
I've told her not to ask
To ask questions
Because I won't have the answers
I know that soon enough
I'll find my way to the back of her mind
And sooner still
I'll disappear
She'll forget everything about me
She'll grow old with him
Never giving a second thought
To the friend who sacrificed
It all so that she could be happy
And maybe next time
You'll give a second thought
To who you send away...
