Maybe just maybe you don't need to explain
He understands human emotions to know why you came
That troubled look on your face says that you feel the same
But scared once we've finished he'd play the blame game
All the same you've arrived with that look in your eyes
Determination piercing
He's seen through the lies
You're lost and you've wandered your way here to him
The person you love
Who you don't want to see
All it takes is three steps
The first step is the hardest you'll
Play it again
The day that you chose to turn back on a friend
Your justifications And reiterations
You felt he was wrong through the whole conversation
You'll remember why he had that surprised look on his face when he opened the door to see you
The second step is to endure
What did you hope to accomplish by turning your back on a benefit
Was it worth it to work on what now is irrelevant?
The tears that you cried
All the times that you've lied thrown to the wayside
To stand here as a revenant
He's not going to hear any form of excuse
From the person who seemed to get kicks in abuse
To love all the wrong just for something of use
To say men are the same when its those that you choose
You will hear this
Every word that comes after is pure and sincere
Though sharp as a blade
It's wise as a seer
Through calm disposition these words will now sear at the weak sensibility you seem to hold dear
The third step is left in the air
She doesn't know if she wants to make it
Her voice is now broken with no way to fake it
In truth the mistake was she knew she could take it
The promise still stands she just can't bear to break it
But something happened
The gap has been removed
He took that last step for he can't bear to lose
The feeling that ate at the pit of his rage
The possibility to hold hands til old age
To love and to smile he holds on to the day
She stands there amazed as he feels his embrace
He whispered in her ear the promise is fulfilled
We'll meet up halfway love
That was the deal
