A Turn For the Worse

I'm left without a single thing to say
You just walked out yesterday
My pride wouldn't let me stand in your way
I'm a little hurt            but I'm OK

Just wonder what it was that made you leave
did you see something that you didn't want to see
some variance or insincerity
a darker side of me

You'd think I would have wanted to steal you blind
Hurt you somehow maybe waste your time
I only wanted to hold your hand
I was hoping maybe you could understand me

So you go your way and I'll go mine
I'm sure everything will work out fine
I know you never meant to be unkind
We're just a question that got lost in time

Things just kind of  took a turn for the worse
It's just a question of who gets burnt first
I'll sit here and try to write the next verse
Saints will pray and sinners curse

but you'd think I would've wanted to steal you blind
Hurt you somehow maybe waste your time
I only wanted to hold your hand 
I was hoping maybe you could understand me

Loosing someone who one cares for is painful but there is the right one for you out there somewhere. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
