Never Would I

Never would I have thought
that I would feel this way again
You got me drowning in my emotions
a tsunami of thoughts
just washing over me
I was a blossoming flower
and then you come along 
and just peel on all of my petals
I was strong
I used to stand so tall

Why does it always end this way?
I'm always number two
Why did I put myself in a situation like this with you? 
All these questions not worth asking.
What was done was done
can't change history,
can't change what's going on between you and me.

Never would I have thought
that I would pine for your lips
You got me wanting everything
that I didn't before,
now I don't know anymore
I was doing fine on my own
but then there you came walking along
you were lonely, I was lonely
we did what we knew was wrong
I used to be so strong
now I can't even stand up on my own

Why does this always happen to me?
I always end up hurting
Why couldn't I just walk away?
All the while I don't regret a single thing.
What was done was done.
Can't change what we feel,
there's no stopping it.

Never would I ever thought 
You gotta choose,
who do you wanna lose?
You gotta choose,
who do you wanna keep?
that there would be a you and me
Now I'm stuck in a love triangle
but you got me hanging from a string
