Before It Gets Deeper
Let's end it right now
before it gets deeper and
we won't hold on delusion...
would you rather feel
the agony of pain, or
accept this goodbye and leave?
I've tried to say it
aloud, but courage was missing...
I wanted to shout and cry,
and admit we should
break up to avoid many
painful memories with tears.
Were you not reading
the signs on this loveless face?
Wasn't it kind of suspicious
why I didn't touch you
enough when darkness drew near...
felt so rejected and unloved?
It's morning and you
are sleeping, chasing new dreams,
I must go so silently...
oh, forgive me, love
I cannot see you shiver
as sad words cause a heart-break.
I didn't wish it had
turned out the way it just did,
isn't it better to let go
than be deluded?
Look me in the eye and end
it before it gets deeper.
