make it up to me

she asked politely

make it up to me

you said you’d make it up to me

but it seems to me like all you’ve done

is let me down

and i don’t blame you

i blame myself for believing

that the first time you let me down

was the last time

and that i could change

your habit of agreeing

to things you cannot hold

so i will try

i have to - let go

i have to

it seems you’ve already done so

and i’ve said all i had to, but you know i know you know

need to know

i need to know

did you ever know if you wanted

me or the idea of my unknown

because as soon as i let you in

you let me go

and that says more than anything i could ever know.
