All in the reflexes

And as the words slipped out
I realised right then  
That I didn't even want to talk
The worst thing ever I did was to lend a voice  
To my angry train of thought  
But some things can't be unsaid  
A million variations of that sentence  
Going around in my head  
And as you stood there
In your angry silence  
I knew that was the moment  
That I'd lost you forever  
 
But whatever we said  
And all the promises we made
We were never gonna be forever  
No matter how much I wanted it to be that way  
Sometimes the past  
Can return to haunt you  
And bring back the pain  
That it did previously taunt you with
And sometimes you can wake up
In somebody else's dream  
And realise you're no longer the person
That you thought you would be
A bitter shell of yourself  
Driven by the passions  
And the dreams  
Of somebody else
 
We were perfect in every way  
Except for all the ways
That we obviously weren't  
I learnt  
That sometimes when you put your heart on the line
You're gonna get burnt  
And just because we fit like a glove  
Doesn't mean what we had was eternal love  
Doesn't mean that what we had was gonna last  forever  
Our love was intense  
But a temporary adventure  
 
So now I guess I'll see you later
I hope things work out for you
I hope you get to spread your wings and fly
The way that you’ve always wanted too
So now it's so many years later
I'm so fucking happy  
Things actually  
Worked out for you
But now I'm gonna say what I should have said all those years ago
The world has no Eyedea
How much I love you
