Mute

I never said a word, to you.
And on the night you said you were leaving,
I wanted to cry.
Because I'm just mediocre,
that's what I am, in my eyes.
So I never thought that it would hurt you or make you cry.
But I'm not mediocre to you.
I never said a word, to you.
And on the night you said you were leaving,
I almost died.
Because I'm just mediocre,
that's what I am.
So I never saw that it would hurt you that I could let you leave.
Because I'm not mediocre to you.
But I never said a word.
Now on nights I cry alone,
where you can't see me.
Wonder how I'll fair alone,
I need you more than I need air to breath.
And I think on words like failure,
I know it all too well.
I have changed for the worse,
I know.
But I can't keep you from the world;
it's your life to lead.
But I would if I could,
and keep you here forever.
I could never say,
that I needed you to stay.
I didn't know that's all you needed me to say.
Did you really think I didn't care?
I thought I wore my feelings on my sleeves.
Do you think you'll like it better there?
Or do you just want to be away from me.
Yeah, I know that I have changed inside.
I lost faith in everything.
But there is one thing that will never change.
I told you I would be with you forever and a day.
