Maybe

I finally realized

that I gave up too much of me

I couldn't help it

I got my hopes up

I thought that maybe

Just maybe

You'd choose me

Maybe I scared you away

Maybe you didn't realize that I was hoping

Maybe I shouldn't write down the possibilities

I'd be here all day

You probably don't care

You have no loyalty toward me

I probably don't mean much to you

And I,

I won't make the same mistake again

I'm leaving

and I won't come back to you

Maybe then you'll realize what we could have been

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
