let go

cheeks burning, mind racing.
i couldn't bury this lovely feeling. 
a warm touch,  i was star struck.
 you said you'd give me the world
if i gave you a chance.

i was elated, started sprinting.
next second only i'm limping.
 lungs burning, eyes stinging,
you gave me a new reason.

it was rose glasses, blind-sided.
said you want to try something.
smooth talker, hypnotist.
"it's okay baby", i'm spineless.
i didn't want to let you down.

 sandy beach, yacht club,
a surprise trip, i've got to come.
 introverted, my battery drained.
"pull it together", i play pretend.
so its black dress, pursed lips,
i'll be the best actress.

now snows falling, burst bubble,
you said she just wanted trouble.
i cried myself to sleep for weeks.
deflated, bent backwards.
still wanted a better reason.
you just had to make it right.

it was one step, plus two
they don't mean a thing to you.
sweet talker, strategist,
i became your little airhead.
deep down, i knew it wasn't right.

head spinning, dirty feeling.
all you did was dream selling.
want you to give us one last try,
 promise to be a better guy.
heart aching, there's no changing.
at least just tell me one last lie.
