Fateful September
We ended when the side of him I fell in love with faded away,
and the only thing left was the side who didn't care to see another day.
I feel like waiting with my door unlocked,
but I know if it was wide open I wouldn't hear your knock.
You're a dream that I barely remember,
only glimpses of that fateful September.
I could be dreaming of all the wrong you've done.
Instead I'm telling our story to everyone.
I've never hated love so much,
until I felt your deathly touch.
I've spent a lifetime chasing after you,
but you're gone no matter what I do.
With a drug like you there's not a second to wait
so bad for my body yet so sweet to the taste.
I never imagined myself to become this,
hating you but longing for that unforgiven kiss.
Tonight I've been missing you.
Yes I know it's nothing new.
Being with you changed me,
not for the better as you can see.
Some mornings I felt my night was imagined.
The marks on my neck were the only proof I hadn't.
My heart was right in your hand,
Yet there's still something I don't understand.
Is better to love a man who's gone,
or to love a man whom you know is doing you wrong?
