Not as Pure


Lost in the city

With nowhere to hide

I stumbled upon a heart

That had greater love than mine

 

I sometimes think to myself

Why did this special heart have to say goodbye?

It was not my fault

The heart was not pure

Not as a pure as I had first imagined

 

It was a heart full of desperation

I know now who should stay

And who should go

Because they have shown me

More than you could ever know

 

Once I begin to stop caring

That line is drawn

Oh you are once again trying to cross it?

Nice try, just cut to the chase

And say goodbye as you have done before
