Weigh the Risks

I never planned on saying goodbye If I had it my way we'd both have wings to fly I never planned on making you cry But not letting go would be living a lie Neither of us know, nor could we tell If falling in love would turn out that well But what could I do, I watched as you fell Wishing for the simple saving grace of a bell You said, "weigh the risks" and that's what I did Risks are better not taken, smiles better off hid It saves so much pain to keep a closed lid And it can't be opened with a bribe, the highest bid So I hope that your hurt doesn't last very long I hope your heartbreak isn't lived in every song I never planned on this being so wrong But it would be a lie to just play along.
