inspired by a cab sav

tonight i will not think of you
of all the things you dared to put through
i’m gonna think of me
and what life allows it to be

i try to forgive and forget
but what’s there to forgive
when there’s no apology
but a whole life’s worth of regret

it’s so long ago
but really, has it been so
has it been years or months or seconds
sometimes the heart doesn’t know
it’s been a good lifetime
reaching out for the dust
that’s settled long ago
sometimes the heart doesn’t know

tonight i shall put you away
pretend that everything’s all ok
i’m gonna be me
and everything life is unexpected to be
