Didn't Quit On You
I'm sorry I didn't visit you
I hardly ever called
Probably seemed like I quit on you
But that wasn't it at all
Please don't die on me, don't leave me here alone. I'll cry you see, but tears just won't atone for sins engraved so deeply, things I can't erase: A messy life I lead so neatly, dodging things I just can't face.
Things I always felt, but never said aloud; Cards that I misdealt, can't say that I'm proud of the way I didn't handle, things like a flickering candle. And though I cried when tears were due, I never cried in front of you.
And yes, I feel empty, just waiting for the hole. "God bless" a soul that I most likely stole without a second thought; burning selfishness - The pain I must have brought by faking mellowness.
I should have visited you
Should have called
Shouldn't have made it look like I quit on you
When that wasn't it at all
I hardly ever called
Probably seemed like I quit on you
But that wasn't it at all
