Pride before a fall!
I walked away with broken heart
So sad that we should have to part
But in my mind I’m still with you
Haunted by things you used to do
When fate stepped in and all went wrong
With no way out we followed on
Pride and foolishness prevailed
There were no winners we both failed
Now time has passed but life goes on
And our mistakes should make us strong
But strength is sometimes not required
I’m soft inside but not a coward
If only I’d been soft back there
Without the pride that made me dare
To turn around and walk away
I’d think again another day
Now as I travel with heavy heart
And think how fate did play its part
I wonder was it meant to be
Could we really have done things differently?
