"Some Songs Simply End" (poetic draft)

"Some Songs Simply End" (poetic draft)

The dust it settles here
From all that's compromised 
There's nothing left to fear
I finally realized

Someday you'd have to go
And that was yesterday
To late for you to know 
My heart was still in play

I should have told you then
But life's a busy street
You drive and drive again
Through snow or summer heat

But I apologize
I cannot change the past
Sometimes the feeling dies
It slips right through our grasp

I bet you think we tried
I didn't try enough
I played the poker's lie
A gambler's losing bluff

Maybe someday we'll see
That love plays funny games
One day's not destiny
One ember's not a flame

I hope you feel okay
Tomorrow's not today
You'll find another way
To not be led astray

I wish you all the best
'Cause all the pieces left
Like dust they've come to rest
On my heart's failing test

I hope you don't look back
I hope you stay on track
You deserve much more
You'll find a love that's sure

We both have to move on
And I'll be lonely here
The ending of our song
Is past from being near

[CHORUS / OUTRO]
But
Some songs simply end
Like our's did way back then
Or
Some songs simply end
Before they skip again

[REPEAT AND FADE]
