A Journey

I know better than to sit

Waiting,

When you say you’ll come,

You won’t

I know better than to believe

You when you say you want

To be mine

You don’t

I know better than to let myself

Fall

For someone who won’t

I do

I know better than to give

My heart and my body

To someone who doesn’t know

He doesn’t care

I thought I knew better than

To love you, to fall

For you

I don’t

I thought I knew better than to believe

You when you said you want forever

With me

I don’t

I thought I knew better than to sit

Waiting for your headlights to shine

Through my window when I know they won’t

I don’t

I thought I knew better than to give

Everything, to someone who will

Ultimately leave everything behind

I don’t.
