Decay

I want to give you up
I want to let you go
I want you to know
I am giving up
I want to walk away
But leaving is too tough
I’m not strong enough
So please walk away from me
They say time… time heals every ache
But it was time that let my heart decay
I can’t wait… wait another day
I can’t stay—but I, too, can’t walk away
I want to see your face
And feel no more
Or even just ignore
My heart’s racing pace
I want to hear your voice
And feel no more
I want to lock the door;
This was not my choice
Like it isn’t yours
They say time… time heals every ache
But it was time that let my heart decay
I won’t wait… wait for you to say
That you don’t love me… love me in that way
I need to walk away
Run away
Because I can’t stay; I can’t stay. I can’t stay
Run away; I’ll run away
But to my dismay, my heart won’t sway, though it decays
It wants to stay
They say time… time heals every ache
But it was time that let my heart decay
I can’t wait… wait another day
I can’t stay, but I too can’t walk away
I want to give you up
I want to let you go
I want you to know
I am giving up
