A HARD FREEZE ON A
MID SEPTEMBER NIGHT

I believed in fairy tales. I guess I believed in lies.
I believed in hopelessness, 'cause I saw it in her eyes.
She has a strong desire for her wants.
I have a strong desire for my needs.
She just keeps on chopping down
while I keep on planting seeds.

You say you're not happy, so leave if you must.
Because the more you want your independence,
the more I feel a lack of trust.
You think it's just getting old.
But I see it starting to rust.
You said, 'always believe in love at first sight.'
I do. I just call it lust.

I tried to sing the songs. She tried to do the dances.
She thought the first time should be a charm.
I believed in second chances.
I cried an ocean of tears. She cried a lake.
She called it a darn good try.
I call it a mistake.
She calls it too hard to deal with. I call it the past.
She says the future's to far away.
I can see it coming fast.
I thought the cup was half empty.
That's no reason to throw away the cup.
She thought I was blind because I had my eyes covered up.
She tried to forfeit. I tried to finish the game.
She never would admit she was wrong.
I never would take the blame.
She wanted to find something else. She just didn't know what.
Now she calls herself free. I call her a slut.

You say you're not happy. So leave if you must.
Because the more you want your independence
the more I feel a lack of trust.
You think it's just getting old.
But I see it starting to rust.
You said always believe in love at first sight.
I do. I just call it lust.

You wrote some cold hard truths!  I read so much saddness in your words, but there is something to be said for saying it like it is, and I hope you took some comfort in doing so.
