Egress!

I walked away, knowing it wasn’t my place to be,

Held my heart in pain, knowing it wasn’t my place to bleed. 

The soul that once sang to me,

I thought it was only for me,

Till I heard the claps of me,

Everyone thinking it was them you sung for and not me. 

I walked away, knowing it wasn’t my place to be,

Held my heart in pain, knowing it wasn’t my place to bleed. 

I bid my goodbyes, 

So silently that you couldn’t even hear,

I hid my tears, 

So you wouldn’t see them and leer. 

I walked away, knowing it wasn’t my place to be,

Held my heart in pain, knowing it wasn’t my place to bleed. 

Not waiting in a line to be loved by you,

Picking up the pieces of my heart broken by you,

Disappearing in the shadows of the night,

Couldn’t watch you proclaim your love to everyone but be mine. 

I walked away, knowing it wasn’t my place to be,

Held my heart in pain, knowing it wasn’t my place to bleed.
