Infidelity

Why won’t this feeling fade
My heart beat’s slowing pace
They say slow and steady wins the race
But here I am in second place

My minds running everywhere
This just isn’t fair
So much for being there
And what I hoped we could share

Feelings thrown around
Careless moments bring me down
You got my emotions all unwound
Thought my heart was safe and sound

All I wanted was you
I thought you wanted me too
Do you understand what I’m even going through
Looks like hello heartache round two

Why did you tried to hide it
It’s wrong, no use in trying to right it
All along I thought you were trying to fight it
Never knew these feelings were unrequited


You tore me down broke my spirit
I listened but almost refused to hear it
I offered my heart, to volunteer it
But now my thoughts are just to fear it
