You Had Your Chance
In another life, maybe
You'd of been my wife, baby
You've shown me kindness
And been there for me
Took away my blindness
So I could suddenly see
The love you had to give
Was so good and grand
Felt good to finally live
Knowing I would be your man
wasn't looking for it when I found it
When I found it
I felt it
When you took it
I melted
Just took it without warning
And left me holding the bag
And burning
Cuz I missed you
I missed your touch
Cuz when I kissed you
I fell so much
Then like that, its gone
Like Kaiser Sosa
I thought you were the one
What am I supposed ta-
Do?
Just as the pain started to subside
You came back and opened my eyes wide-
-er and deeper and fiercer than before
And refilled that void you left in me
Resurrected me from the Plutonian shore
assured me I was the one you adore
Made me feel like there would never
Again be an impenetrable door
Between us, not a door, not ever
So I let myself fall deeper and deeper
Than I did on the previous occasion
Then again, poof! Left me in a ?seether?
to wait for you for unidentifiable duration
Told me to wait for you
But instead I cried for you
If only I knew
How I would end up still holding emptiness
I'm not strong enough to say I'm through
I still dream of that happiness
That I felt with you
I can't wait, I'm sorry
I just can't wait to make it be
Cuz while I'm stuck waiting for you
Someone's waiting for me
They're waiting for their chance
To dance
With me
They wanna love me and fill my soul
And show me to be in love again
make a diamond from this lump of coal
In this chest that you left there
She thinks I'm perfect she thinks I'm smart
The only thing missing is my heart
That You took with you, twice
If you ever come back,
I fear it'll be thrice
So I can't
I'm not strong enough
The things we discussed
Weren’t enough
Rockets, chess,
7 Egyptians, and the rest
Can all blow me.
I'm not finishing this test
-good bye
You were the best
