I could tell you were ready to let me go,
when your light ceased to shine
When the look in your eyes don’t feel like they used to
And the excitement you felt was replaced,
by this cold feeling when your eyes meet mine
I started to think maybe you now see us differently
When you spent time with me, not because you wanted to,
But out of pity
And your cheek to cheek smile started to play hide n seek
Tell me that at the end of this tunnel there’s still light?
Cos in the dark is where your silence leaves me
When you can’t tell me how you truly feel
I hate to be filled with doubts and quite frankly
These doubts are killing me
I’ve always been scared to fall in love
Cos I’m afraid of giving too much of myself
It’d take a second to break my heart
But it’ll take years to heal it back
Yet, if given the chance once more
I’ll still choose love
Because, even when you break it
Loving you would’ve been well worth it
But would you tell me when this journey is coming to an end
When you no longer wish to ride shotgun
Or when you wish to remain only friends
So I can pack my bags and set like the evening sun
Cos If the seed we had sowed can’t find any space to grow
It’d stay stunted, then dead, signalling my cue to go
I’ll rather walk away now and live with the pain
Than to watch your love fade away with the rain
