The Words I Speak

All That We Could've Been

We could've been so many songs

Have the poets write and the choir sing

You left the day you ended it but left me with your body

Your soul was long gone before I reached out

I reached that point of breaking

For one mistake I'm more trouble than it's worth

You mistake me for someone who shouldn't exist

As much as you taught me about life

I taught you about the thrill of being young wild and free

You forgot the taste of being around me

You'll taste what it's like to lose me

I showed you what eternal kindness is

You tried setting sail to wreck eternity

Towards the end you weren't even trying

So I headed towards letting you go

Hope you realize what this took out of me

A realization that my bloody heart and shattered spirit came to

You became more pain than my happiest memories

Shocked me to the core more than past betrayals

Nothing left to say other than

Something in me will miss something in you

Expectations end in failures and still I hope

That you'll come to me that it's I you choose

But alas you left me no choice

Cause you were never mine and I wasn't yours

Although I so badly believed we could've been

But reality beats make-believe

I've watched enough movies to know

That by picking up on patterns I can predict

How the story goes like I'm a critic

This one will conclude

When my red blood turns blue
