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
