New Mistake (imagine)

Podcast: 

Chorus:
This is what a love song sounds like
when I'm not in love.
I can hear the raindrops
racing down from up above,
crawling in my eyes as I
begin to wake,
a beautiful reminder of
my new mistake.

You said
I'm scared I won't find
someone
as good as you.

Me too.

That night
your flesh was my blanket
as I told you that
I was so afraid
of losing you.
You said,
I'll defy the laws,
even if I die
I'll still be with you,
I'm the wind,
I am inside you.

I believed you.

Chorus

Now you say
I don't think I
ever loved you as much
as you loved me.

So what was that night
when you
held me so close
that we were one?
Just a memory,
have you already
forgotten?

Chorus

You once said
I'm scared I won't find
someone
as good as you.

Me too.

Its ironic the conversation

Its ironic the conversation I was having while listening to this...

Lately I've just needed to cry.
