It's a Shame
by Cougar Draven
A/N: I posted this on Fiction Press, and got a bitchy reply because I didn't say anything about it. Too goddamn bad. I'd say something if there was something to say.
Just another night
Or is it just another day?
When I thought I was sure
That you wouldn't run away
In this house, in this bed
I woke up all alone
And it saddens me, and it angers me
Because I damn well should have known
I know it's a shame
and I know it's a lie
But I knew from the start
That if you left, I'd die
But now that you're gone
And I've been left alone here
I'm lost within myself
On what to do, I'm not clear
I guess I should have seen it coming
I should have known that you would leave
Can you forgive me for being blinded
By someone I cannot believe?
Maybe it's just a game
And maybe I'm a fool
But I've never been one, and you know this
To play by all the rules
I know it's a shame
and I know it's a lie
But I knew from the start
That if you left, I'd die
But now that you're gone
And I've been left alone here
I'm lost within myself
On what to do, I'm not clear
So maybe yeah, it's a shame
Because I knew that I lied
And on the day that you left me
On the inside, I died
Sometimes I still cry
When I pick up the phone
Because all that I know
Is without you, I'm me, alone.
