lyrics

I Know I Was Careful, But The Balloons Weren't Mine To Keep

Two years back, I didn't see this coming,
I never thought it could.
To have to end up empty-handed,
after reaching with both arms.

When I see you give up,
it hurts my heart and leads me to doubt,
that I could ever measure up to this boy's dream.
So please, wake me up.

It's unfortunate, you know we never really talked,
just kind of brushed it off.
We barely hung out. It's like I never could fit in,
with all your friends, one family torn,
by unreconciled silence,
too afraid to work things out,
easier to wait it out, and it's only gotten worse.

Be of good faith, this is hardly worth the worry,
it is you who makes the journey,
and the world is for the taking,
so you can't just lay in bed,
and hope all things will work out,
just as you had planned.
It takes a focused mind and a dedicated heart
to cause a ripple with the rock you skipped,
and an unadulterated form of care, to be sure
you left a lasting mark that shows you never settled
for anything less than life changing.
