I picked up a bottle
today
on my way home
I needed to be alone
with my drink
and my thoughts
I shiver
turn the lock
and open my door
it seems I'm back
to my old ways
isolating just to think
without explaining
what I'm feeling
I thought I was done
until you knocked at my door
with hope in your eyes
I tried not to cry
did you recognize my pain
the sincerity of my voice
I hate the way it is
but really
do we have a choice?
so many lines crossed
we tapped danced
around the truth for
so long
drowning you in my sorrow
just to get a read
looking for reasons
that I may be wrong
but in the end I wasn't
maybe I was the enforcer
the missing link
of good or bad timing
depending which corner
of this triangle
you were standing
but like I said
shit happens for a reason
and all of this is shitty
but apparently our destiny
a lesson we have learned
an era unforgotten
turning points
in all involved
an unwritten song
