Half Felt

I felt you that night
more clearly than any wound
the tears i bled
from the things we said
it made even the angels swoon

i felt inside something not there
something about you didn't seem to care
have i failed you once too many times
is that why i am unforgiven of these unsaid crimes

i felt like i never had before
and for that i am so sorry
i didn't mean to make you feel something
i tell you i'll be fine, so don't worry
it was just a half finished song i wanted to sing

but days go by and dreams die
devils can sigh and lifeless things cry

i never meant to hurt myself
i never meant to lie
i walked away from you
so you wouldn't know why

i loved and felt things not meant to be had
stories don't end this way, they aren't supposed to be sad

half felt and half undone
i'm afraid the sad story has only yet begun
