Silhouette |
| by Sara |
I caught a glimpse of you the other day,
I couldn't help but stare.
You and her, together
Holding each other, kissing each other, caring for each other.
You stood there with her in your arms
And my heart in your hands.
I never meant to love you.
I never intended to let you take my heart.
And look at what I've done to myself,
I let myself fall and I feel like I'll never stop.
Standing there I felt like a fool,
But to walk away would've meant
The termination of myself.
I watched as your silhouette was cast across me.
And in an instant my knees buckled
And I fell to pieces.
I lay in a heap, unnoticed.
And as I lay there motionless, dying inside and out
Someone passing by kicks me to the side.
There I stayed alone and abandoned.
At a time like this I could really use my heart,
But you still stand with my heart in your hands.
I never meant to love you.
I never intended to let you keep my heart
And look what I've done to myself.
But, then again I don't know how I expected
To be able to keep going without you alongside me after all.
