This regret will eat me up
Swallow me whole and spit me to the dirt
I have moved on in every way but one
And that’s the thought that I could change what I’ve done
Was I not special?
Was I not worth it?
Maybe there was something that I couldn’t see
It’s left me with the thought that it wasn’t meant to be
I have to stop wearing myself out
Over things that are dead and gone
About a failure from the start
Overthink
Compensate
I’ll go in peace
I just wish I could have made it work
Ignore the rose bouquet
That sits in front of your doorway
Someday
Looks like I’m out of luck
The stems had wilted from the ground up
Give up
Let it die
Let it die
Kill it before I think I even wanted it
At first I thought that I needed you
And then I realized that I was missing you
All is said and done I was an afterthought
A burden on your mind a minor obstacle
I had all the time to find the words to say
I argued with the side of me that wouldn’t cave
Tried to offer everything I had to you
Too much too early nothing left to prove
Overthink
Compensate
I’ll go in peace
I just wish I could have made it work
Ignore the rose bouquet
That sits in front of your doorway
Someday
Looks like I’m out of luck
The stems had wilted from the ground up
Give up
You didn’t need to say a word
So you didn’t but I never learn
I didn’t have to burn myself with rage
And I tore the page
You were walking a race I was trying to run
Grew an appetite at a table of none
