What Could Have Been

The expectations held on tightly Strong enough to suffocate your love for me What if all I needed was to let go? Leave my dreams aside To keep you by my side I would've done it Anything to keep you mine, and not hers What if all we needed was a little time? But instead you chose, for all time Hastily ending our unity Your fault in this wasn't the break It was the giving up When you vowed forever and always You lied, promises broken Words thrown around meaninglessly Now, I lie Discarded beneath a mountain of "what could have been" And I'll stay here Waiting for someone who cares
