moving forward


What if I just slip away,

Cause at the rate you’re going,

you’re digging your own grave.

I wish I could ignore it,

But this pain is too great.

Back then I was young,

And I believed our love was fate.

But if it really was,

Then why is the smile I wear just so fake?

Even when i’m asleep,

I feel like I'm  wide awake.

What the hell were you thinking?

I made a huge mistake.

Can someone hit pause?

I don't know how much more I can take.

Seriously, can we slow it down?

I think I'm gonna faint.

I need this to end,

And for us to go our separate ways.

Please don't contact me,

I just need some space.

I promise this is best.

This is for your own sake.

The best for both of us is

To take a long ass break.

It's gotten to the point where

I dont recognize my own face.

But this doesn’t mean that

The world is gonna shake.

We just need our own time,

But keep in mind, this isn’t a race.

We moved forward way too fast,

So we need to go back, reset the pace.

Maybe we should see other people.

In this, we both should partake.

I won't judge you, or think of you differently.

I wont think of you as a snake.

We both need this,

We just need an escape.

Just think of this

As a time to reshape.

I only want what’s best for us

At the end of the day.
