I Bow Out
To think I vested my time
To think I could have you as mine
Put my self out there
Vulnerable, and you not care
Deny me the happiness
Refuse my tender love & caress
Then move on like theirs no tomorrow
Leave me behind to whale in my own sorrow
This just can't be what love is about
So, forget love, this time I BOW OUT!
Always put my best foot forward
Step by step, and on one accord
To not receive the best from you
To not have you follow through
Embarrass me, and make me think twice
Put up a guard when someone is being nice
Not give myself a chance
Because all I can think about is you in rememberance
So I'll strive to not let it affect me
I bow out, simply....
