Righting Wrongs

I left you by the staircase
Not too long ago
You were a fine young lady
Dressed in white satin robes

Now the deed is done
And i'm on my way home
Worried that the worst is yet to come
All because i'm letting you go, letting you go

I was thinking that i could find a way past my mistakes
And for being the one that's always making you wait
And leaving you here outside
I can't deny
I can't deny

Now i'm left on the shores of reality
Was i wrong, was i wrong for letting you fall to your knees
Stuck in an unending tragedy
Was i wrong, was i wrong for knowing you were falling for me
It's time to move on to a better place with someone else
'cause where you are right now and where you want to be
It's not with me

My train has almost arrived
But there's no one here with me, wondering why
I spent all this time waiting for you (waiting for you, waiting for you)
But at least now i know that
You ain't comin' back for me no
My heart's torn into pieces
I just want you to see, i want you to see
All the truth behind

What we've been through
There's not much left to explain
I'm not the man who can pay his way, through chances he takes, like leading your heart astray
I'm not the life you've always wanted
Not the ones with happiness almost every single day
Maybe now you'll see
Oh we're not meant to be
No, no

Now i'm left on the shores of reality
Was i wrong, was i wrong for letting you fall to your knees
Stuck in an unending tragedy
Was i wrong, was i wrong for knowing you were falling for me
It's time to move on to a better place with someone else
'cause where you are right now and where you want to be
It's not with me
