didn't you

exaggerated feelings
exaggerated thoughts
love songs inside my head
a mind that thinks too much
I thought I had a hold
on your desperado heart
silly me for thinking
your heart could be roped
why am I surprised
that you had to let go
I can't say that you
didn't always tell me so
I am not surprised
that you'd let me slip away
didn't you, didn't you always
tell me it would be this way
