"Halfway Gone" (iterations intentional)
Copyright (c) 2008.02.08 by Werner Domroese

I have done all that you have ever asked of me
I have never let you down
in return you treat me like the enemy
you never granted me the privilege of goodbye
you never bothered to tell me why
I keep telling myself I'm better off this way
but my bleeding heart remains in disarray
barely beating and virtually run-down

I have tried to make things better
but you would rather stay home alone
than share my company in any other place

you could write a letter
you could say something over the phone
you could tell me face to face

instead you allow my heart to shatter
because yours seems made of stone
once again I'm out of grace

I have done all that you have ever asked of me
I have never let you down
in return you treat me like the enemy
you never granted me the privilege of goodbye
you never bothered to tell me why
I keep telling myself I'm better off this way
but my bleeding heart remains in disarray
barely beating and virtually run-down

you could write a letter
you could say something over the phone
you could tell me face to face
