I lengthened the gap between us.
by not only running, because I also hid and lied.
I just wanted to win this race, I was leading in first place
And finally, I could see the finish line.
there it was, right in front of me,
I felt the adrenaline rushing through every single vein
I wanted to make you proud
i thought winning was the answer to ease this pain
so close, I already felt victorious
everything I had ever wanted were a few steps away
I crossed the line excited
but no one cared and my feelings didnt change
I was longing for more,
I didnt know what to do
I was stuck with this ache
I was lost and confused
I thought I was winning for us
but I could feel your own hurt from being left behind
I turned my head and looked back at you
we were a team but my fears and insecurities turned me blind
I forgot we were in this together, running a three-legged race
but I left you by yourself
I was inconsiderate so we both lost
and ill forever remember the look on your face.
it's all my fault,
self-sabotage.
