I don't know why things fall through
I don't know I survived in my life
Without someone like you.
But now I guess I have to.
And whenever I do something or feel something
I want to run to you, but I can't anymore
Because you said "I can't do this anymore."
We were two kids who didn't know what love was
Until we were in it.
And we had to conceive and believe and retrieve
Every part of us so that we could make sense of it.
And you gave me life like our breath gives the trees
And every time I thought of you I'd say
"Please don't fuck this one up"
Because a lifetime of you wouldn't be enough.
Even though this is the third time you shattered my heart,
I would let you do it again because
Maybe this plan the universe has
Is too much for me to understand.
I apologize for every time I apologized.
And I have come to realize that deep down inside
I wanted to make every wrong I did right.
But by trying to do it right, I did it wrong.
I made us weak when we used to be strong.
I clutched to my crutch and when it finally had enough, it snapped.
Leaving me falling face first into the dust.
And it hurts to see you leave
Because love is a disease and in those
Last ten minutes I had to accept we were finished.
In those last ten minutes
I told you I wanted you to be happy
In those last ten minutes
I told you trying would be hard for me
In the last ten minutes
I said I would try harder
In the last ten minutes
You said you still wanted to be a part of me
In the last ten minutes
I said "I love you" for the last time
In the last ten minutes I said
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
You were my girl in the blue dress
The one who relieved my stress
And allowed me to express all the
Things I wanted to say
The one who I impressed
And the one who I depressed
And the one who left
So I could face being alone all by myself
You told me thank you.
You said "Thank you for listening."
But there are pieces of my heart
I still feel missing
Because you took them with you
After all was said and done,
You finished it
I still loved you though.
In the last ten minutes.
