Street Smart

I cut the ties, in my mind

drew up the draw bridge

that you used to drive by

You were too scared to cross it

I guess you thought you lost it

just the confidence, 'cause when the pain came

you winced.

You cried in, laughed out.

Out loud, and it seems now

that you're all about

being up, down

and going all around.

Well listen to me now

'cause I could tell you how

this life you live will get worse

if you keep calling without

knowing the voice

on the other line, on the other side

of the very thin line, that you crossed

when you toyed with mine.

I wish that I could say

it won't happen again,

but when I send,

false hopes, I tend to pretend

I feign and I fake. My heart's one mistake

is when it makes me take,

a second look when it creates

that love in my veins,

pumping into my brain,

so I could only the think of one way,

one game to play.

And if I win one day,

I just might say,

I'm sorry for ever having acted this way.
