I Ruined the Perfect Night
I didn't want to say this,
it hurts to let you know;
you weren't supposed to do this,
I didn't want to let go.
I thought I'd take a chance,
after that night of fun;
I'm so surprised now,
that you didn't turn and run.
I turned there to you,
in that dim porch light;
I looked up to your face,
to end the perfect night.
I started to move my lips,
and let those words go through;
and now it makes me cry,
whenever I think of you.
I see you everyday,
and it simply breaks my heart;
I knew you didn't like my words,
and that you'd quickly part.
But yet I still kept talking,
knowing I'd be the one to blame;
I had to take my chance,
in these cruel love games.
You had this weird little smile,
that I didn't comprehend;
little did I know,
that night would quickly end.
I played myself the fool,
it rips me up inide;
I simply should have shut my mouth,
and ran away to hide.
I didn't do what I should have,
instead I continued along;
and now when I look back on it,
I can see clearly that I was wrong.
You tried not to be rude about it,
and I admit you did succeed;
but still it hurts so much,
since you rejected me.
As you said your few words,
I looked down at my feet;
as soon as you said sorry,
I knew in that game of love I was beat.
I knew the night was over,
so I said my last good-byes;
I gave you one more hug,
and hurried off inside.
I looked out my bedroom window,
and through the dim porch light;
I sat there alone in tears,
after ruining the perfect night.
