PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was told on the telephone

To live my life and leave her alone

And I could tell by the way she spoke

By the serious tone, it was not a joke

She said, I made her cry too many nights

And that I walked out of too many fights

Well... maybe I did



But at least I tried the best I could

I tried the things I thought I should

But my intentions were misread

I always turn the green lights red

But at least I tried the best I could



I'm not all that I thought I'd be

And I'm always the last one to see

That is over before I ever speak

The strength I had has turned so weak

She said, when you find yourself give me a call

But until that time, I guess we've seen it all

Well... maybe we have



But at least I tried the best I could

I tried the things I thought I should

But my intentions were misread

I always turn the green lights red

But at least I tried the best I could



I broke your heart

You shattered mine

I played the part

You stayed behind



But at least I tried the best I could

I said the words I thought I should

But my intentions were misread

I always turn the green lights red

But at least I tried the best I could

And at least I said the words I should



I always turn the green lights red

You never heard a word I said
