Thank You And Goodnight

So unsure of what I know
I'm too afraid to sing
These verses I write to describe
The hopes to which I cling

So eager am I to hear your voice
Your silence fills me with doubt
Now that I've fallen so far for you
I cannot find my way back out

So once again I take the fall
I take it on the chin
What they say about nice guys is true
You know we never win

I cannot blame you for my foolish thoughts
Just because I wasn't right
In hoping that we could have had more
Than lust in the heat of the night

The memory of what we had
The thought of what might be
Masked so well the bitterness
Of the truth I couldn't see

When I was alone the dream of you
Restored my faith and hope
My only defence against lonliness
Though unaware, you helped me cope

For that I'd like to thank you
And make sure you realise
How good it felt to see the love I saw
When I looked into your eyes

However my vision must have been impared
Though I thought that's what I saw
It must have been just that dream
Of which I spoke before

Now your apathy towards my presence
Has shown me what is real
Your silence tells me more than words
Exactly how you feel

Regretfully I must leave once more
With a heavy, wounded heart
There is little joy behind my smile
This time as I depart

Now all I have to offer you
As I say this last goodbye
Are my apologies and my gratitude
And a teary sigh.
