The 23rd

My heart said yes,but my brain said no.
My heart said stay,but my brain said let her go.
I wish I'd known the answer,but truly i'll never know.
Because she was stuck in double love,but was hard for her show.
She knows what she needed, and she knew what I got.
She said she wanted me,but later she forgot.
What I gave,he don't have.So why stay in pain?
I guess I'll never understand, and the thought rattles my brain.
All I asked for was a chance,but you've gave him more than that.
Every time you had a problem,he never knew how to act.
Just to sit and watch you cry,as I told you how I feel.
I too fought off the tears, so I know that it was real.
I knew you was afraid, that I'd end up like the others.
But I'm telling you this now,and I put this on my mother.
I'd have never mistreated you, never tried to degrade you.
All I ever wanted was a chance to save you.
I knew it was going to be hard, I was prepared to take steps.
But even if this didn't work out, I still feel I was blessed.
I got to hug an angel, that alone is worth the sorrow.
Because no matter what I say today. You'll be hugging him tomorrow.
