The One Who Unchose Me

June 6, 2007

If things couldn’t get any worse from the start
You ask me for help mending your hurting heart
Ask me to ignore my own and swallow pride
I have to be selfish, can you see my side?

You’re the girl who constantly throws me
You were the one who unchose me

I don’t have the shoulder to catch your tears
Each one a memory made though our years
Lean your head down and let them fall on paper
Fold it up, tuck it away, maybe reminisce later

You’re the girl who couldn’t close me
You were the one who unchose me

Reservation for Hurt, table of one
No longer trying to reverse what has been done
No time to regret, just to press on
These days of summer will soon be gone

You’re the girl who thinks she knows me
You were the one who unchose me

I look on you with the fondest of eyes
Hope I separated myself from the other guys
In my heart surely your spot is reserved
The cards that are dealt are the ones deserved

You’re the girl whose beauty slows me
You were the one who unchose me
