Before You Leave Forever

Someone said the bad ones always win
So why am I standing here alone
To bathe with my radio plugged in,
Singing one of your favorite songs?
And all the words
Are holding my body beneath the surface;
You row back to shore
And the sight of you waving drives me insane.

Shoot this hourglass,
I can’t stand another second
Watching you sneak out of my life
And leave forever.

Someone said the bad ones always win
So why is everybody throwing stones?
I’ll sleep with my radio plugged in
But you ruined all of my favorite songs
And all the world
Is crashing upon my squeaking shoulders;
You row back to shore
And leave me anchored, dead and broken.

Shoot this hourglass,
I can’t stand another second
Watching you sneak out of my life
And leave forever.
Godspeed to all my letters,
I hope you could read ‘em all
And don’t reply: I’m just too scared
Of you saying “No”

And all of these poems
Might reveal I’m in love
And, honestly, I’m shocked
That you’re still gone.

Shoot this hourglass,
I can’t stand another second
Watching you sneak out of my life
And leave forever.
Godspeed to all my letters,
I hope you could read ‘em all
And don’t reply: I’m just too scared
Of you saying “No”
