I have found you, walking in the halls.
As usual, you don't talk to me much.
Walking by familiar walls,
Mentioning your new bass clarinet and such.
When suddenly you stop. You say my name.
"I've been putting this off for a while," you say.
I begin to dread what I guess is coming, I must be to blame.
"Our relationship..." My dread deepens. This can't happen, no way...
"...needs to end." No no no no no...
"Now." And in that split-second, in my eyes I see
A flash of every memory you gave me, moments so
Wonderful, only lasted a fraction of a second, and in a moment you've taken back everything you gave me.
I feel my mouth open, I try
To say something; I faintly hear a voice inside me mumble "No... not now..."
"It's over." You deliver the final death blow; there is no emotion in your eyes;
And then you've walked away, without letting me try to reason with you, and I'm thinking how...
How could you let go
Of something that used to be so great?
You used to make me so happy, but, I dunno,
I guess I just was never enough for you; you want something better on your plate.
This all feels like a dream,
Maybe it's not real; but in my heart
I know it's true, and I'm holding back a scream,
It's true I just saw right in front of me, my whole life fall apart.
If I once said that hope is like a tree,
Then you carried me to the top
AND THEN FUCKING DROPPED ME.
