DRIVE YOU AWAY

Cannot deny a time when I was not nice; you see in me lives another vice.  Years upon years I played the dice; I promise you this – you I never intended to slice. 

Did I drive you away?

Did I cause you dismay?

Nights upon nights you waited on an empty bed; flights upon flights my drug was the one that led.  Left alone you hoped for a return; suppose hard it was the day you had to learn.  Was it easy for you to go?  Did you look back though?  Wonder if for you the healing came slow; silently, for me the anguish will still grow.

Given the chance I would not let you down – again.  Turnin’ back time I would not allow you to feel – such pain.  Speaking with truth in hand – I can remember the first day we met.  Leaping into a strange land – wheels in motion were set.  Ninety-five was the year of our kiss; heavens birthed new stars amidst my induced bliss.  Why was I such a fool?  Without you I drowned in a shit-filled pool!

Why did I drive you away!

Why did I cause such dismay!

Now you lay with another at your side; I would lie if I didn’t say this hurts my pride.  Only God knows how much I wanted you as my bride; loving each other we could have lived without divide.  Such ease I felt in you to confide; a fortress of security where I could safely abide.  So sorry our love met its doom – died; fantasy would be to see it bloom – denied.

Forgive me... didn’t mean to drive you away.

Forgive me... never meant to cause you dismay.
