He was ready to give me anything I’d ever wanted

A home with lots of bedrooms

Safety and security

A baby and a ring too

All he wanted in return was

My whole heart

And I

Just

Couldn’t

I could have lied

And it wouldn’t have only been a half lie

But I

Just

Couldn’t

I knew that when I said goodbye it was for good

I selfishly thought maybe he’d wait to see how it all played out

That if he meant all the words that he said

I’d have time

But he’s got a new girl

And that’s ok

He deserves to have a whole heart

Just not mine

And I’m sorry

But I did him a favor

Cause he’s gonna propose to her soon

I can feel it in my bones

I’ve seen it in my dreams

But it

Just

Couldn’t

Be

Me.
