Thus I Wrote

You must go now, you must protect yourself
You can see a better future, for you, from the shelf
In your head, you had a dream of me
But I was nervous competing, with someone I couldn’t see
“Don’t worry, we need no scripts”, you said now, didn’t you?
Ah, but it’s all over now between me and you

This pain is real and I ain’t made it up
I didn’t drink for a long time, but you held the cup
I never felt, anything quite like this before
When we met I was nervous, about what I wasn’t really sure
When you held back, I tried, to push on through
Ah, but it’s all over now between me and you

I wear my heart on my sleeve now, or so I’m told
I want it all, or nothing at all, it’s time to be bold
You seemed to get me, you said that we were twins
We gave and wanted love and to be the best at everything
We talked of plans and starting our lives anew
Ah, but it’s all over now between me and you

I forgot the lessons, that you tried to teach me
You want loyalty, and you want love unconditionally
I know now that you’ve set the bar way too high
And you ran when you saw that I would not comply
I would’ve liked one more chance, to make, our dream true
Ah, but it’s all over now between me and you

I remember all the messages that you sent to me
All those pictures and words are seared in my memory
But now we’ve fallen, into a dark silent abyss
Was our deep connection so easy to dismiss?
But are all such questions, now,  just wasted on you?
Ah, cos it’s all over now between me and you
