I Cry

as I write this

My thoughts drift away

I hope they reach you

Even though you can't see my face

I'm so angry,

cause your love is misplaced,

and I hope she knows

I hope she knows

How to treat you,

cause I will be on her case

Oh, my thoughts drift away

I cry as I write this

I know you don't wanna hear it,

but it's typical me,

and all I see is someone else dragging their feet

It kills me,

but as long as you're "happy"

It's all gone astray

I hope I see you

Even though I'm not pride of place

I'm so sorry

I came up short again

I hope you know

I hope you know

How I miss you,

and your soft devoted gaze

Oh, it's all gone astray

I cry as I write this

I know you don't wanna hear it,

but it's typical me,

and all I see is someone else dragging their feet

It kills me,

but as long as you're "happy"

heartbreak
