Consequence

I was paying attention
Though that isn’t the way it seems
This was really all about you 
Though you said it was all about me

The consequences that are rendered
From the strong vibes that you gave
Not listening to my feelings
Feelings I can’t repay

Not enough time to get it right
Not enough space for me
I’m feeling all closed in on
That’s not how it should be

Stretching me beyond my means
Whether that’s your intent or not
I need to separate myself 
Cause this stress is all I’ve got

Didn’t mean for it to go this far
I’m sorry for any pain
I may be making a big mistake
Right now there’s nothing that remains
