prove me wrong.

i've been feeling like nothing but a fool as of late.
silly me for thinking that stability could be just around the corner.
i thought i found it in you, but instead, i found nothing but troubled water.
i don't feel as if i asked for too much,
i didn't think those expectations were too high,
and right now i wish i didn't know any better.
silly me for thinking things between us were mutual.
didn't you know i left my heart in your hands?
maybe i pushed you away
but i guess a part of me wanted you to push back.

i know it's silly, especially since i've compiled
this mile-long list of reasons of why you're no good for me.
i know that i was right to walk away,
that maybe we were doomed from the start.
i thought i knew you,
but nothing seems familiar anymore.
silly me for thinking i could turn your heart right around.

i keep reminding myself that you won't be coming back,
that you won't be knocking down my door anytime soon
but too often, i catch myself, sitting on my stoop,
hoping you'll prove me wrong.
silly me for thinking you'd prove me wrong.
