WORST CASES
(I HOPE NOT...)

someday I'll write the story you asked for
but for now I'll just cry
the path I chose has reached another door
and still I do not know why

trusting you has been my undoing
you did all you could to destroy me
I still believe you didn't really want to
but you did it anyway - that's reality
and now there's nothing left of me

so I am starting over
from the bottom of the well
penniless and friendless
living real life hell

now I am starting over
and I will be alright
but for a while I'll struggle
and cry late at night

maybe it's not really true
maybe you will be back
maybe you'll get yourself
straight on the right track

maybe you'll make it right
maybe you will survive
but today you're worse than dead
because you're still alive

what you did to destroy me
is your responsibility
and you'll carry that weight
unless you make it right
and it will crush you if you don't
that's the way it works
and you know it
and you feel it
and you'll see it
if you ever look yourself in the eyes again
you'll know you betrayed your best friend
and you'll know you violated a child's trust
and you'll never get away from what you've done
so I hope it was fun
  and worth it...

someday I'll write the story you asked for
the story of the love that you betrayed
the details hurt too much for the moment
someday ever piper must be paid
and somewhere in your mind where you hide the truth
you know you'll always hear my voice
and no matter what you did or why
you'll know it always was your choice

  your choice


...


I'll leave this one unfinished
for you to have your say
  someday I'll write the story...
I'll just cry today


...

only you know why
I'll just cry

cry

cry

cry

cry

cry


...





Your Choice
