Lost You Anyway

I thought for a minute
as I looked in your eyes
that maybe there could be more
between you and I,

but the minute surpassed...
And so did the hour...
And so did the night...

And what I wouldn’t give
To have taken you home,
And to have kissed your eyes,
And to have held you close.

And what I wouldn’t do
to have called out your name
in a passion so warm,
in a lover’s embrace.

I loved you more than I would say
only because I’d think
that you’d need me less
than had I just pushed you away.
And I pulled you so close,
then I pushed you away.
And I hoped you would stay.
But I lost you anyway.

I drank for a week.
Slept for a day.
Only to dream
of what I lost when you went away

And I could’ve had love,
But I threw it out,
And I regret it now.

I’m usually wrong,
So what’s one more time?
It’s just one more night.
It’s just part of my life.

And you’re just one more kiss.
And you’re just one more tear.
And you’re just one more wish.
And I wish you were here.

I loved you more than I would say
only because I’d think
that you’d need me less
than had I just pushed you away.
And I pulled you so close,
then I pushed you away.
And I hoped you would stay.
But I lost you anyway.
