Passed You By

Untie these strings, unchain my heart….

Snuffed in the lies that strains my thoughts.

No one can imagine, no one but me….

One day at a time, until I’m free.

Whispered promises, broken desires…

Once the cheater, but never the liar.

No need to fret or put up a fuss…

There is only me and never us.

Passed you by

An anguished heart left out to dry…

Can’t be consoled, no need to cry.

My shadowed thoughts was tricked by time…

Believing love would unclear this mind.

I’m stepping out to shed the pain…

I’m trying to find myself again.

Illusions of some transformation….

That frees me from those reservations.

No more love upon that cold deceit…

No more a place to wipe these feet.

I’m turning away, nose to the sky…

This time it’s me, who’ve passed you by.

I’ve passed you by…
