one night to speed up truth

i need for you to be happy.

down the line

if everything happens for a reason

that we we're meant to love and fall

and we stood together through the seasons

because it was destiny's call

then i wouldn't no longer trust fate

'cause it let me lose my only soul mate

the fortune cookie lied

and the stars weren't a very good guide

so if i could have taken it all back 

believe me i would have pushed rewind

so i wouldn't have you trapped in my mind

if i don't say this now, i will surely break

every place i go, the raindrops always seem to follow

i run passed a dampened tree

feeling the cold, wet bullet of rainfall on me

even under a sheltered roof ,the wind blows rain in my direction

failing my sad attempt at decent protection

so i became used to it, didn't make a fuss

it was something forgotten, something i wouldn't discuss

once i stumbled into you, you made me feel like cinderella

you promised things would be okay

while you held me under your black umbrella.

as for loneliness, she greets me every morning

my days of waiting we're coming to an end

counting fallen leaves until i received what you promised you'd send

we had both changed by the time that wrinkled envelope sat in tin

things had changed, we had both been living a sin

i read with caution not skipping a single word

picturing your voice in my head 

listening to how it would it would have been heard

the truth was in ink right in front of me

but somehow i felt hollow, i didn't want to believe

you didn't say 'i love you'  you said it was over instead

that red flag could have never prepared me for the words i read
