The Wrong Leap

The Wrong Leap 
The hardest lesson
Has been to get rid of the tension
That you’re no longer at my mention 

Well thank God, I got that out of my heart
At least I saved myself from the hurt
No that you’d have cared if died

But I’d be there by your side
I’d be there when you take the dive
I’d been there when you almost died in that ride

But I guess, I was never the right 
I was never the right person that your heart pleased
But I still did my end with no plea
I was the right person to dance by you
But I was still the same person who stood by you
When you were losing you

I was never the right person to answer’ I do'
But I was the same person when you asked if I loved you despite all your flaw’s I said I do

Well that sums up that your live wasn’t true
But that mean that mine was due

Cause every time I try to move
Every time I try to play cool
Every time I try to meet someone new
I come back to you like a fool

Guess you never really cared just who
Just as long as your bucket list wasn’t due
Foolish me that my bucket list revolved around you 
But now that you’re  gone I see there is nothing to lose
Except sending my apologies to my parents for losing a daughter they once knew

Funny yeah, but it’s true
For  you I broke every rule
We left the cat at the zoo
Drove the night to Malibu
Spent our nights on my roof staring at the moon

And we played the game where we say, yes I do

Ooh yes you didn’t 
You left me here like a pimp
And walked away all drip
And now at your wedding all I do is peep
Guess I took the wrong leap
