False Impression
I wish i could have stopped this all so long ago.
I don't know why I even tried.
Caught up in a ridiculous lie.
I was under a false impression that I could give you everything you wanted.
I should have stopped while I was ahead.
I had this idea stuck in my mind that in a matter of time you'd be mine.
I should have never even tried.
I can't change the fact that I gave you all I had.
I was under the false impression that this was all worth fighting for.
Now i'm just left with another burned memory and where i was before.
Why couldn't I stop myself so long ago?
I could have saved myself from the pain that was in store.
False impressions stuck in my mind, I should have known it'd be just a matter of time before
you walked right out the door.
I'll never forget the way you left me on the floor.
Face first in a pool of my own misery.
I'll never understand why you just gave up on me.
I should have stopped this all so long ago.
Too bad time can't be replaced, and now my heart is left with this hole.
I'll let go.
I should have long ago.
