Dead End

You’re on my mind still, I must confess
That every day hurts a little bit less
Life’s short, I don’t live with regrets
I move on, but I never forget
You did me wrong when I let you in
Found someone else, but he just don’t fit
I can tell you don’t even love him
And he don’t love you the way that I did, yeah

Take a second, take a breath in
Realize the choice you made
You had it good, so much to lose
And I had everything to gain
It’s a blessing, pardon my French
I just thought that I should say
I’ll be nice so here’s a word of advice

Every time he tests your patience
Think about the love you’re wasting
See the choice you made is your best friend
You took the easy road to a dead end
It’ll hit you hard someday
When you see me make my way
Climbing to the top so swiftly
You could’ve been right up there with me

You gave up on me when I was down
I rose up, turned my life around
My my, would you look at me now?
Hit my line, I’m nowhere to be found
I couldn’t tell you how I used to hurt
But now I’m seeing that you have it worse
The way he treat you is looking like a curse
Such a shame, I can’t put it in a verse so

I’ll remind you I was behind you
Each and every single day
I stayed true, I stuck it through
And yet you still pushed me away
It’s a blessing, pardon my French
I just thought that I should say
I’ll be nice so here’s a word of advice

Every time he tests your patience
Think about the love you’re wasting
See the choice you made is your best friend
You took the easy road to a dead end
It’ll hit you hard someday
When you see me make my way
Climbing to the top so swiftly
You could’ve been right up there with me
