You Never Were On Time
You said it when you said goodbye
You said you'd anchor near
You said I'd feel you in the wind but all I feel is air
I listened for the whispers, too
I listened close to hear
I listened and I looked but all the signs you sent weren't clear
We had a pact, you shattered it
We had so little time
We had an understanding but it seems it was just mine
You chose to throw it all away
You chose to say it's fine
You chose to shoot the poison, smoke the death and cross that line
I tried so hard to breathe for you
I tried to circulate
I tried and cried, denied and still, I’d die to change your fate
You said you’d never be that far
You said you wouldn't wait
You said you'd run like wind to me I guess you're running late
