In the middle of the night
I cried out to you
Hoping you would rediscover me
And find my hand in the midnight’s light
But that ship has sailed
Without me
No hope of rescue now
Desolate and alone
I felt that cold wave
Roll over me
Shocked at the words
That you were supposed to have said
I threw everything in your face
And ruined it
In tears I stormed off
Back to my desolate island
A message in a bottle told me
I was wrong
I had lost everything
I’d ever wanted
Because I listened to the voices
That lied to me.
I wish I could take it all back
And say it never happened
Maybe I would still be in your open arms
Or maybe you would come back
To this lonely prison
And make it a little brighter for me
If only I had heard the only voice that matters
Over the ones that told me
“It’ll never work
Give up, weak one.”
If only I had listened to you
If only’s won’t save me now
But if I could do it all again,
I wouldn’t have ruined my own life |
