Cardiodepressed

My mind accepted defeat 
When I stepped in the love game. 
And my heart would skip a beat 
Whenever I heard your name. 

Everything was colorful, 
Even black seemed so bright. 
How couldn't it'd been wonderful?
I thought everything was right. 

'til you walked out to sort something 
Right in the middle of the game. 
Sorting out something led to another thing, 
Another thing of which I fail to name. 

I came your way but you pushed me away. 
I thought you weren't well I had to stay, 
To a point that I began to pray. 
't wasn't easy I must really say. 

And because of the heat 
It's my heart that accepted defeat.
