Cliffhanger

I see you swallow your pride
I watch the pain fill your eyes
As you struggle to take back that goodbye
That last thing you said
When I still stood by your side
And I want so bad for it all the be good
Have everything back to what it was then
But as the words fall from your lips
To even my own surprise
There is no forgiveness
I just can’t find it inside

Time to close the book and place it back on the shelf
There’s no sense in starting another chapter
There’s nowhere to go from where we’ve been
All the apologies in the world could never matter
I’m not looking for a sequel or even an epilogue
I just wanted an ending to this cliffhanger

The moment hits and I know it’s the last
There will be no going back after tonight
No way to unsay what needs to be said
It’s simply too late to unsay what was said in spite
Trust’s been shattered and crushed to dust
There’s nothing to go back to
The gulf between us grew too great
And while it’s obvious you haven’t really changed
You have no clue who I have become
And hearing you speak
I suddenly wonder if you ever knew me

I’m only here to make you see
That no matter what you mean to me
I was finished with you long ago
My ending in this drama was penned
The moment you tried to play your final game
So do us both a favor
And keep all your apologies
And all those happy memories
And all those what you mean to me‘s
’cause before you finish hearing these words
I’ve already packed away our history
