Reversals

You said goodbye Like it would be a grenade in my heart Waited for the bang Not realizing I had let go from the start You thought it would be better If we were to stay here, both worlds apart You said goodbye But the horse had not been put before the cart You wanted a reaction You wanted me to cry You wanted me to cling Instead I wanted you to fly You wanted to be justified For walking away one final time But instead what you got Was a mind accusing you of crime You said "no more" Not in three months Or even four But what you missed And what I tried to say Is that I know you need to go And I didn't think you should stay You said goodbye Like it would be a grenade in my heart Waited for the bang Not realizing I had let go from the start You thought it would be better If we were to stay here, both worlds apart You said goodbye But the horse had not been put before the cart
