The rules were simple
And stated at the start:
No feelings to speak of,
No strings for the heart.
What is that saying...
About breaking the rules?...
They're meant to be broken
By love struck fools.
So what was the point
In laying down the law;
Denying all we felt
When even strangers saw?
Did we know all along
The way it would go?
Were we true to ourselves
Or putting on a show?
It was easy at first;
Our intentions were clear...
But time changes everything
And already it's a year.
Purely physical,
That's what we said...
So why the emotions?
Why screw with our heads?
It happened so fast
So what else could we say
Other than Sorry
Before walking away?
This is all so different
Than what I'm used to;
I wasn't expecting this...
I never expected you.
There was so much passion
And just as much fear;
Wanting to push you away
Each time you pulled me near.
Why did this happen?
I don't believe in fate...
But if there is a Destiny's Child,
Tell her she's late.
Time is growing short,
We're only growing older
The bricks are being layed
And hearts are growing colder.
I've shown my feelings-
They were too hard to hide,
And now that they're out
I feel empty inside.
Did it happen over night?
It's so hard to accept
That we've dimmed our light.
Survival of the fittest;
A way of life:
Push loved ones away,
Take hold of your knife.
Play on impulse;
No need for a game plan.
Old ways are back
Cold-hearted man.
Where is the script?
What was the cue?
...Too late; I missed it
Now I'm missing you.
This was my fault too,
To this I agree,
But it wasn't enough;
What more do you need?
I gave you my body,
You took my heart...
All that is precious
And still you tear me apart.
I just wish I knew
Where we went wrong
You said to be patient
I've been patient too long.
As much as it hurts,
I think this is right,
We said our goodbyes,
We've had our last night.
I've tried so hard
And I've been lying in wait
Hoping you'll come back
But now it's too late.
You've pulled my strings
You've played with my mind
Now you've left,
Leaving me behind.
I've always meant what I said
You know I was true
Everything emotional...
And it was all for you.
I thought I would know
If you told me a lie,
But I was wrong;
Hello was really goodbye.
Don't forget what I said
Don't forget how it ended
With another in your bed.
Don't forget our nights
Don't forget our fun
Don't forget we were special
And that I was the good one.
Don't forget how you hurt me
Don't forget how you lied
Don't forget all my pain
With your thorn in my side.
Don't forget all the passion
Don't forget that last kiss
Don't forget it was my love
That you're gonna miss.
Don't forget it's your fault
Don't forget how you lost me
Don't forget, because I won't
And forever will never be.
