And there is movement, like hands clicking in time
So slow to the realization that is now mine
When will I learn, why didn't I see
Why didn't I read the signs mounting before me
You tried, tried to tell me it was over and done
But I didn't listen...
No I didn't listen...
Gone before it ever begun
I saw promise without a vow
Granting more patience than time would allow
I gave you an era when an instant was mine
Surrendering my love feeling you'd be just fine
Giving you distance when intimacy was right
Offering you friendship without a handout in sight
And I heard only songs where sirens blew
100 signs without a clue
You tried, tried to tell me it was over and done
But I didn't listen...
No I didn't listen...
Gone before it ever begun
Now I walk, walk coldly away
No reason to talk, no reason to stay
Ready to go and move on this way
Cause your excuses have no place here now
Better I learned the truth about you anyhow
Gone before I became the next pathetic one
Assessing the truth before any real damage was done
And I heard only songs where sirens blew
100 signs without a clue
You tried, tried to tell me it was over and through
But I didn't listen...
No I didn't listen...
Doing what I had to do
Gone now is the feeling of needing you
