I knew. I knew all along.

I just tried to pretend it wasn't true.

I tried to dream it all different in my head

And somehow I made it possible too.

But it was only possible in a daydream

And it was wonderful and it was great

Though it stopped right there

At a halt, this was no chance of fate.

It was over before it even began

I was silly to think to was anything more

Than a few conversations and words

And maybe it was just another score.

But I wasn't even ready, really

And it's me who I want to be with forever

No time for half hearted or excuses

Or of any settling whatsoever.

That part of my life is done, it's over

There is only forward walking now

Taking each day as it comes along

Myself a priority is all I'll allow.

My happiness, my focus, my worth

Is so very important to me

I've settled, I've shrunk, I've lost before

But never again I swear, you'll see.

There'll never be "I'm not ready"

Or "maybe" or "I'm just not sure"

Because with me I'll know where I stand

And I'll be giving it all and more.
