She stayed up all night and cried into her pillow
And fought off the urge to just break down and call
Last night to find the fault seemed so darn easy
But now whose to blame don't matter much at all
She thinks if she calls him it just shows weakness
So the hurt goes on with every tear she's cried
Ain't it sad to see a good love fall to pieces
Chalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride
Chorus:
Turn out the lights the competition's over
The stubborn souls are the losers here tonight
And while the bridges burn, another hard-hard lesson's learned
As through the ashes passion slowly dies
And this romance goes down to foolish pride
He relives every word they spoke in anger
He walks the floor and punches out the wall
To apologize to her would be so simple
But instead he cries I'll be damned if I'll crawl
If he loses her he's lost his best friend
And that's more then just a lover can provide
So he wrestles with emotions that defeat him
Chalk another love lost up to foolish pride
dedicated to David. I find these lyrics hit home. I heard them in the truck the other day..and had tears come to my eyes. Im so nervous latley. Time is ticking away, and Ive yet to get a decision from him..wheather I can come down to see him or not. When he says no (which Im kind of exspecting really) Do I challange that, and come anyway? Why cant people, say yes..when they really want yes...and no, when they honestly mean no. Im so not good at this I said no...but wanted you anyway stuff. Damn..Im such an idiot. I should have come months ago..not now. Not now...his feelings have changed. I know they have. they had to have been settling. he said he was even "healing". Healing is good...when you accept the matter, and move on. Hes moving on. I read into that. Hes walking down that hallway, and there is nothing I can do to stop him from walking away from me.
let me tell you, there is nothing more helpless, more hopeless..than seeing your everything walk away from you. Reasons...he has them. BUT, I do too. BUT I chose, to say "we can get threw this, we can see this threw..because I believe in us..I believe in what we had..I believe in love".
But what if..he has no more love? He said he is like ash. I too..have parts of my heart..that are like a burnt out house...but I believe in climbing that mountain, and trusting the road that we travelled that wasnt easy...the road that seen troubles and trials, I believe we made it so far together, for a purpose. For a reason.
It was WORTH every MILE for me David.
It was worth every STORM for me David.
It was worth every TEAR for me David. You are worthy. You were worthy all along.
You are worth every mile.
He doubts our love, the back of his heart..does he know that love is not for quiters? We have to keep going forward...and agree that miles are worth it. They build character, storms make you stronger...you know each other more. When the going gets tough...I could always count on your smile. And lookig back now...I can say ..it was worth every mile. David was worth every mile.
