Let It Be

 

 

You didn't understand

Respect

Neglect

On the other hand

You had down to a science

Yeah

Maybe I am a little biased

You took so much out of me

Crushed me in ways

I never let you see

I smiled

Prettily

Patiently

Speaking love and forgiveness with soft words

Held in the ache when it wasn't returned

As my heart was being torn

Sometimes wishing I was never born

I found myself reading the signs

That you tried to cover over with forever lies

The truth was trapped behind your eyes

It was just waiting on you to decide

To be a man about things

And stop playing games

With real love

I gave with out expectation

My whole heart without reservation

Taking you at what you said

Your words had no power

They were all dead

I laid in your bed

Like I was your wife

Waking out my sleep to cook you breakfast

Sometimes

Ironing your clothes

with out you asking

I was multi tasking

But so were you

With words untrue

You paid no dues

And disappearing acts

became your calling card

But you didn't call at all

There was no net

As I began to fall

 I broke my neck

Now you say you just want to talk

About what may I ask?

You reply you want me back

So now you finally see

All the love that was in me

But Anyway

Too much

Too little

Too late

 to ever try again

You are speaking Japanese

I can't relate

Tears still try to ease the pain

And you think I should be flattered

Because my phone just rang

But I see your name

So I just let it ring

There is nothing to discuss

between you and me

Let it be

Let it be

Let it be

Ohhh let it be

There will be no answer.

Let it be.

Please!
