The Ones That Got Away

Where do you go when the lights all go out

And safety is found in the shadows

How can you trust, with words spoken in doubt

And deep hollowness is all that follows

If you must threaten to leave, to find the love that you need

Then what are the reasons to stay

Feeling guilty for the things that I shouldn’t feel

Deep regrets for words, never said

When you had all the time you could waste

And life just kept giving you more

Now I can only imagine the taste

Broken hearts left to die, on the floor

Walk on like like I don’t recognize it

Tattered and bleeding, as a way to keep score

I’ve no need of that old shattered heart

Free to take it, I don’t want it no more
