A Little Off Beat

It seemed like everything was perfect and we were on the right track

But now it’s over and I just wanna go back

But we’re too far gone, too far apart

We used to be one, but now I’m just a broken heart

Still trying to get back onto my feet

I was head over heels from the very day we did meet

And even though we haven’t spoken in ages

The feelings I’ve always had for you still rage 

My phone screen shows a text to you that I won’t send

I guess the bruises are still there, need to let them mend

I hope every now and then I cross your mind

Because every single day you are crossing mine

And I just can’t seem to get the image of your smile out of my head

The last thing I see when I lie down in bed

The first thing I see when I wake

I thought what we had was real, but to you it was always fake

I was just a game that you loved to play

You dragged me by my leash every single day

And I so happily followed, thought I had a chance

Every time you were near my heart would do a little dance

But now it is broken, a little off beat

I gave up everything for you, put my life in the backseat

Then one day you left the passenger seat open, now I’m driving alone

Left to return to an empty home

I asked you if there was ever a chance I’d be calling you baby

You looked right at me and said “maybe”

But you were just laughing that I thought I ever had a chance

When, in reality, you never gave me a second glance

You were here one moment, then gone the next

And, well, you know the rest

But you won’t even know this poem is about you

You’ll just go back and return to your old dude

Yeah, like you always have, how you always will

Guess you will never know how I truly feel

I’ll just keep it quiet for just my heart to know

You keep walking, but my hearts begging please don’t go
