You promised to keep in touch
Allegedly reporting that I meant so much
But time will predict whether or not
I was a mere convenience and
If the present is true indicator
I'm hedging my bet on the former...

Feel free to come inside
I know you can't wait to
But make sure you ask
Cause I'll probably change my mind
For I never wanted you in the first
I just love taking you to the edge
And letting you down ever so slowly
Apologies for being intertwined already...

Messages not returned
And I don't have to wonder why
But let's ponder anyway
Is it resentment for having turned
A blind eye to needs never fulfilled?
Is it jealously for having the chutzpah
To move onto something new when
It was dying bit by bit but no one had
The guts to call it quits?
You'll have to answer eventually
It's up to you...

Unlike you and prove me If I'm wrong
I will treasure the moments fondly
And never forget
I wouldn't have left
If I didn't feel you'd be alright
Spread your wings and fly
Contrary to popular belief
I wouldn't have it any other way
Besides nothing can match
What's inside my mind for
It would be a letdown of
Tragic proportions as the payoff
Isn't that great
Talk is cheap anyway
The next one might call your bluff
This time, you won't escape
Cause it'll be too late
Try explaining and then burying that away
Yet I still try even if uncertain
Who made you so damn Puritan?
For let the chips tumble where they may...
