Written Out of the Story
I lost everything to you
It couldn’t be helped
Wouldn’t want to mess with fates design
I keep thinking if only, I didn’t give you everything
Laid all of myself in your lap
Looking back I see it all as a melting image
I was loosing it then
Before it was all gone
I got attached to an idea
To the look of us side by side
Holding hands through grocery aisles
I made up my own story in my mind
Never did I consider fates grasp
On all the rest
Foolishly I placed all my bets on you
On some version of future us
Whims and paper I built it up
Fate and reality took it from my hold
You fell out of my story
Just as quickly as your name was written
