Unstable Lies

You knew at the beginning she was looking for more than you could give But you let her jump anyways knowing that she’d fall As she leapt you stretched out your arms giving her false hope A smile like no other you’d seen on her face But in a second you wiped it out of place Her hands grasped out for yours In a split second decision you snapped your hands back Watching her fall And now that’s all you can do Sitting there watching her fall Seeing the promising woman you took from her Reverting her back to that insecure little girl She once was a long time ago You look deep into her eyes as she falls You realize it wasn't worth it all To lose someone like her Now you beg for her to come back Understanding the mistake you’ve made But the future is unknowing So there is no knowing if you can undo what you’ve done Can you imagine a lifetime without her Her laughter will no longer ring in your ears You won’t be able to see that sparkle in her eyes Are you really sure you want to build her up on your unstable lies…
