A Few Notes For Orpheus

Listen up and listen well
I’m still here to tell this tale
Of how I dwell on each mistake I’ve made
I’m still stuck in these old ways
No one should ever have to feel like this
To feel just like me
But I’m moving on

It’ll feel as good as it is sad
We could have had the whole damn world we wanted
In the palm of our hands

But if I’m honest with you now
I’ll say goodbye and I wish you well
Is it too late to make this up with truths?
Should I let go of you?
And now I’ve come to realize
These are the words I always had but kept inside
We grew up and it’s sad to see
That some things aren’t meant to be

And if I could let go of every fault I try and hide
And blame the way I act in how I live
Because it’s myself I can’t forgive
You know I would have been there for you every moment of every day
But I’m moving on

It’ll feel as good as it is sad
We could have had the whole damn world we wanted
In the palm of our hands

But if I’m honest with you now
I’ll say goodbye and I wish you well
Is it too late to make this up with truths?
Should I let go of you?
And now I’ve come to realize
These are the words I always had but kept inside
We grew up and it’s sad to see
That some things aren’t meant to be

So what’s left of the person that you never really knew
Who’s more and more alone each day
And regrets ever meeting you
Who’s still hurting and always learning?
You’re just someone now in my rearview
When I look behind I see our love that ended too soon
