The Fairest

You said your piece
Now go away leave me be
That's all I need
Another same old story
What a treat
I'm on the edge of my seat
To hear the same damn sad song, on repeat

Now don't you see
It's never quite what it seems
How could it be?
When its just outta your reach
Now come with me
I'll take your hand as I lead
It's for the best just try to catch your breath as I do the rest

And maybe yeah
Could be that there's nothin' left
Well that's too bad
'Cause we ain't givin' in yet

Heck
There could be so much less
So nervous wreck
Just close your eyes and reflect
On how it went
Before you looked and then leapt
And go ahead just see what could have been 'til you watched your step

Oh, not so fast.
No, I aint done with you yet
'Cause whatcha have
Is gonna be what you get

What's in between
A stand and weak in the knees?
To be unseen
And only hold on to dreams
They never leave
But you know that's the real tease
Does it matter if you get there or to just try the key

Its make believe
Until you buck up and scream
And take your leave
From what they want you to be
Oh how unique
Another crushing defeat
You know it only really matters while you care what they think

Well then I guess. you get. to catch. the rest
From where. you sit. and just. reflect

Ok, now quick
Tell me again why you quit
You know the trick
Is really leaning on it
And if it sticks
That's when you get to commit
But who's the one you really think you try so hard to convince?
