To Run
Heartbreak's Melody: A Tale of Promises Broken and Paths Unknown
Lyrics
I showed up at her door
Arriving at her doorstep.
No gifts or explanations for
Without presents or explanations.
The way that I'd been acting
Regarding my recent behavior.
Father time just kept on passin'
The passage of time persisted.
I tried to kiss her lips
Attempting to kiss her.
She said, let's put an end to this
She suggested ending the relationship.
A simple overreaction
Perceiving her reaction as excessive.
It sent my head into a backspin
Causing my mind to whirl.
I don't know where to run
Feeling lost about where to seek refuge.
She was a teenage girl
She was a young girl.
I made sure to promise her the world
Promising her everything.
Spend money fast as lightning
Spending money rapidly.
Anything just to keep her smiling
Doing anything to maintain her happiness.
My voice was all she heard
My words were all she heard.
Sentences filled with empty words
Speaking empty, meaningless sentences.
I thought I was so clever
Believing I was cunning or smart.
Never knew our line would sever
Unaware that our connection would break.
I don't know where to run
Uncertain of a place to escape.
I don't know where to run
Still uncertain of a safe haven.
I, I have nowhere to run
Expressing having no refuge.
I wake up on the floor
Awakening on the ground.
My head replays that closing door
Replaying the image of the closing door in my mind.
My heart won't stop rewinding
Feeling my heart continuously revisit that moment.
Inside clocks all out of timing
Feeling internally disoriented.
She starts to disappear
Seeing her fade away.
There'll be no turning back from here
Realizing there's no going back.
When all is said and done
When everything concludes.
And I begin
And I commence.
To run
Starting to escape or run away.
