Closing time

I walked into that place Sun shining on my face Knowing I'd leave soon But as my heartbeat picked up its pace Growing fond of this new space I already dreaded the sight of the moon I never once thought of leaving Even though It could never be my home I still just kept believing I could forever blindly roam But soon closing time came I was no longer treated the same The dishes were served and the bill over paid But the servers grew cold and their smiles started to fade However I still would've stayed Even in a place with no lights And cold nights I would've been the most loyal of clients Even if I had to be a cleaner , any kind if alliance That meant I would belong to this building even if it was no place to live I would throw tantrums , behave like little children I would throw in everything I have to give But it wasn't enough Neither was my love And then the cab was here It pulled up to the place Like I pulled down my sleeves To wipe the tears of my face Full with love unrecieved It was time to go home To leave like I always knew I'd have to Even though it was prone Why did I have yo leave it , leave you
