Ok Bye

Why is it that my heart clenches every time I see a picture of you? Or hear your name? Or think of you? Is it because I still think of the promises you made? The ones you broke without a second thought How you said you would be willing to make things work even though there’s a big distance between us You said I wasn’t a fling You said you had feelings You said everything felt right You said you wanted something serious You said I made you happy You said…you said…you said… Something changed in you, you became a different person Keeping me at arm’s length away, pushing me out, keeping things from me At first, I couldn’t think of what I’d done, what I had done wrong I wanted to fix things, I wanted to make things work, I had fallen so hard for you I didn’t want to give up But it wasn’t up to me December 21st is the last time I saw you, you said I’d see you before you left home But history repeats itself and you didn’t keep your word You went home early, I offered to drive 3 hours to see you for New Years You refused, your buddies were more important You kept pushing me away, I still don’t know why Was I too young for you? Was I too clingy? Did I live too far? Was I too close to your sister? Did I fall too fast? Maybe it’s not really me, maybe it’s you You want me out of your life and I’ll do the best I can But I’ll tell you what you told me The last thing you’ll probably ever say to me Maybe this will be all that I remember of you OK Bye
