Eventually

Eventually 

we all will learn

and pay for our mistakes.

.

Eventually 

we will realise

in every heart that breaks.

.

Eventually 

we will all learn

that love cannot be spurned.

.

Eventually 

you will learn

my life can’t be adjourned 

.

you’re pushing me away

ignoring me today

.

my feelings always played

always my faults to blame

.

Eventually 

that day when we’ll 

choose to walk away

from hurt and blame that’s passed

unfair it cannot last.

.

Eventually 

you will see

just how much it’s hurt me

living with the price 

of someone’s else’s vice.

.

Your memories not the same

but it is yet I’m to blame 

.

You’ll choose to punish me 

for as long as I can see

into the future paths we’ll walk

of those times you won’t talk

.

Eventually you’ll see

how it was

it used to be

recapture memory

.

I won’t apologise

you’ll open up your eyes

one day maybe I hope 

and see the wider scope 

.

I had to walk away

from sorrow and from pain

Imprinted on our brains

I’d do the same again

I’d do the same again

.

I live with regret

of that life 

I could forget

but I can never close that door 

it’s with us forever more

.

It was the right thing

it tore us apart

and the wrong thing

breaking out hearts

I’d do the same again

I’d do the same again

.
