Contrast - Sarah Bailey

Walked in, saw you focused

Dreamt it, saw it hopeless

Thought wrong, took me breathless

Kissed me, sand on my lips

Left her, got me so fast

Quiet, unknown, contrast

No sleep with you by me

So much more than my dreams

Like fireworks, I felt you tell me

Drunken, fears, and feelings

Waiting for you patiently

I gave you my heart fatally

Parking lot, all night talking

Long drives gazing the city

Everything had to be a secret

And I was falling the deepest

Started gaining distance

Questioning of your resistance

Worst fears run through my head

Hoping I’v just misread

Decided couldn’t b reckless

Time to hold off, protective

Who is she, maybe, just a friend?

But of course, I was wrong, wrong again

Left me, got her so fast

Quiet, unknown, contrast

No sleep without you by me

A pattern, I should’ve known you’d leave

Feels like always second best

Sat there, nothing but complete mess

Ran out, tears fell, love died

Never came after me, goodbye
