She forced a smile, said,
Boy, come kiss my mouthâIâll set you free.
You know that hope youâre holding to? It looks an awful lot like fear.
Now, youâre so quick to fall on failure, and so quick to raise your voice, like,
âIf I canât find a mistake to blame, we didnât have a choice
Oh, but you had option.
I was your chance to feel complete,
But when I leaned in close to you, you
Kissed your fear instead of me.
You had my hand in your hand,
You had my lip in your teeth,
You had my heart on your sleeve,
You had a chance to breathe.
But, boy, you wouldnât let your fear recede so I moved on.
And itâs too late to change your mind now,
You got scared, boy, and I got gone.
Now you failed, and thereâs no way to turn back time.
You had your chance, boy, I tried.
"You tried?" I looked her in the eye and smiled,
My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made.
It crept unwelcome in my head the day they had her torn away.
It changed me.
Now at the end of everyday I lie awake at night and wait
To feel the wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged, and
Hear my beaten heart exclaim, âStill, I refuse to let her go.
So we escape to our mistakes for they wait patiently for us.
Oh, how they always wait for me.
If my fear has kept me here only my fear can set me free.
And Iâm sorry, dear, but donât you dare say another word.
How could I risk holding your heart in me while still in love with her?
