Started off innocent. The further into it that we went we discovered our hearts weren't in it
It was finished before the beginning. We lifted off but never really caught wind under our wings
We had our thing but it was only a fling. Didn't mean much of anything to you or me
You caught my eye and I caught yours. I wasn't even looking for a lady
But I thought Lord - "rarely I've seen one like her before"
In that moment I stopped you at the door, introduced myself
You looked so floored. We built some rapport
Potential to build something more. We built up a charge - a connection so electric
Should've known early on not to build on the shore
We couldn't stand through the storms of a raging sea
We'd last maybe three months, if we were lucky four
Didn't quite work out but I was lucky for it
As luck would have it we were short handed on passion
Longstanding insecurities and shortsighted glances hampered our chances at a longlasting relationship
But I'm grateful that it faded quick
See I wasn't made for this concept of committing to one person
My motives were self-serving though it appeared on the surface I was endeared to your service
No, a clear and determined focus on my goals was my main purpose
A woman had no part of it. But as far as our story goes that's the short of it
I moved along from it relatively quickly and now I'm sitting reminiscing
How did it benefit me?
To put it simply, I learned to avoid being tempted by not getting caught up in my feelings and to think clearly
Had to clear my head really. Yeah, yeah
Started off innocent. The further into it that we went we discovered our hearts weren't in it
It was finished before the beginning. We lifted off but never really caught wind under our wings
We had our thing but it was only a fling - didn't mean much of anything to you or me
Ended like a rocketship crashing down to earth
There was some hurt but it birthed in me awareness of what I'm worth and what I deserve
I wish the same for you. We paid our dues through experience
I hope you find fulfillment. Fulfill your deepest held wishes
Continue living your best life and make the rest of your life the best of your life
