On a path towards the future with just the two of us alone,
I hope you realize that, you only ever looked ahead of youโ
Never once to me.
All the time in the world to observe the actions you've taken,
Yet you're still surprised that there's no one left beside you.
The desires that let you be happy to chase what you want,
Disappeared one by one, leaving far before you're readyโ
When you see that you arrived alone, without looking back.
Who's to say even crawling across the depths was worthโ
Saving me.
I understand that you were only driven with one goal in mind,
Only somehow, the climb back up took a part of you forever.
A piece that I gave everything away for, just for you to keep.
When all you've done was meant to achieve a pyrrhic victory.
Now, no matter how many times I tell you that youโve made it,
You say that there's not a day that goes by that you don't regretโ
Singing a tragedy.
A decision that cannot be undone, spurred by consequence,
Of why you didn't look back; yet love is the reason behind it.
