Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
I remember walking into the house my girlfriend lived in. You told me to sit down because there was something that was bugging you.
You must have seen the fear in my eyes. As you tell me to sit down because it's just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
I decided just to smile and let you talk. All I could is hope that it is nothing. You smiled back the smile that light up the world. I looked to my right and looked through the window and started walking left ignoring your stares.
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
I could see right through you the way you were hurting inside... It pained me.
"Why did you ask me to come?" I questioned
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I decided not to let you answer as it would only end in tears. Because somewhere along the lines you would have stayed with me all night but you didn't know how save my life...
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence.
I held up my shield and tried up for so long to ignore the way you think I know best... Even though I do... You tried to break down my walls without caring.
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
You passed me a list... a record of all the things what you've had to put up with the years we've been together. You kneeled down and prayed that I would hear you. I did!
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
And now I realise you were bitter. Never able to accept I was gone. But yet I would've stayed with you all night but I didn't know how to save a life.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
All I remember is raising my voice. You gave me one last choice! You're life or mine? I replied. But you ran to your car! Leaving me at the house, where I lost it all.
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
I'll admit I chose my life over yours. I admit it all. I admit I've changed, you begin to wonder why you came.
And here I sit! Listening to your prayers for god that I would hear your sorrow and weeping and I would hold you in my arms once again.
I'm sorry my love that I can't.
End
A/N: I'm actually quite proud of this lol :P its simple yet sad :P and yes i wanted to do this from a mans point of view
