Moments

A Series of Moments- March 4, 2006

Never been too great with goodbyes
I’m not sure what you want me to say
You’ll be my friend, but not my lover
Spare me your tired, old clichés
If it’s not too much to ask
Can I have my dignity back?

And I guess we both knew we’d be here
It was bound to end this way
After all the pushing turns to shoving
There’s nothing to do but walk away
Trying hard to hold your chin up
Pretending you’re unscathed

But there were moments
When we were beautiful
There were moments
When we were true
There were moments
When we were a miracle
There were moments
When I needed you
And even if you never wanted me
You felt good cause I wanted you
And even if that’s all I ever did
In the end, I was good for you too

And I guess if you really want to
You can just write me off and laugh
About the silly girl who fell too hard
The silly girl who fell to fast
And how naïve she was to believe
That somehow make believe can last

But there were moments
Of desperate longing
There were moments
Only the other could fill
There were moments
Where just belonging
Was in itself a thrill
And even if you missed them all
Those moments didn’t pass me by
And if all I have left are the moments
I guess they are worth the goodbye
