Love Torn

I have a picture of a girl I knew
In my wallet, it was something I drew

Had she changed  and for the better
had I chance to go out and get her

In my mind a voice told me no,
It told me what I didn’t know

Don’t dash your heart
on love that cannot last

Because the heart
Can’t outrun the past

            ***

In the end it’ll leave you sad,
Lying on the warm grass

It ain’t fair but its how it will play
Best to keep the thought at bay

You'll love and miss her
While she's standing a foot away

You get up and kiss her
Thinking of another day

Like water and oil they’re gonna clash
So best that you keep the thought at bay

               ***

I went too see her anyway, I thought
of my mind and what it had to say

I didn't feel the way I thought I would,
But I'm glad I did because I knew I should.
