i followed fires

I guess I don't know you now, or like I thought I knew you at all.  Maybe I'm just too busy caught up playing pretend.  My god.  I followed the roads that seemed to make the most sense, chasing smiles and secrets and something beautiful.  You couldn't live up to the expectations I held you to, but I tried.  Letting myself sink, let it go.  Nothing good ever ends if it doesn't end badly, and these feelings are something other than lovely.  Can't get you out of my head, deleted you from my phone, erased you from my conscious.  I'm trying to let you go but my fists won't release for the life of me.  I just want to try one more time, I can't say goodbye until I'm satisfied.  Your call, my willing it not to happen, slipping farther and farther apart.  My tires took my away, you pushed me further.  How do I say?  How do I say.  I should have said it all earlier, before you held my heart in the palm of your hand without even knowing it.  How can you break something you don't even realize you're holding?
