I TRIED

I did my best, was not enough
I tried so hard, but you gave up
Little left  to be said
Cut myself….I bled and bled.

No magic potion,  no recipe
No formula, to make you see
The feeling’s gone, can’t get it back 
Something’s wrong, we got off track.

Salty tears, broken heart
Shattered dreams, now we’re apart
Don’t wake me up, I’m in the  dark
Can’t start a fire without a spark. 

I let you go, the feelings gone
Don’t know just when, it all went wrong
You needed more, you always did
I tried my best, I did commit. 

Some days were good, some days were rough
When it was good, it was enough
I wanted more, you wanted less
Got tired of being second best.

A taste of heaven, a glimpse at hell
You truly were a hard, tough sell
Made up your mind , laid out your cards
Breaking up…. was fucking hard. 

A stepping stone, along the way
Should’a known you’d never stay
Hard to know when it would end
No longer lovers, no longer friends.
