You could have taken her away
From the pain, from the world
If only for a day
If only for a moment
And you did
When she let you
They say you can't fight fate
And that if it's meant to be it will happen
But she ran from fate
And wouldn't let it happen
So where do you stand now?
Now what do they have to say to you?
Maybe your expectations
Were too high
Maybe I should have
Considered the fact
That you could only take her so far
Before she realized she was somewhere different
And was scared
By the unfamiliar
And no matter how hard you tried
No matter how much you pleaded
Trying with everything you had
To get her to listen, she wouldn't
She turned from you and ran
Back to the familiar
And it broke your heart
Not just to watch her leave
But to know exactly
Where she was going
And that there was nothing you could do
To stop her
And you were overwhelmed
With both captivation and devastation
Because you had to take in her beauty as she ran
And the fact that she would again never look back
In the same moment
