If you had a heart, I might say you were The One
And it’s been worth the battle spread across the year.
Since that’s not the case, I am going over numbers
And calculating how to end The War-
I won’t try to push that river anymore.
I remember it was sunset, out by the Hidden Cove
And I could see that there was leaving in your eye.
So, when I said: When I say I love you, I mean it to the bone.
We both knew your heart was miles from that shore
So, I won’t try to push that river anymore.
I know that I could walk away,
Try to make you chase me,
Play the game of playing hard to get,
But I know just how my heart feels
So I will not lie to appease you.
Your Majesty, am I really such a bore?
I won’t try to push that river anymore.
You wrote: If he doesn’t come back,
He was never really yours
But now my knuckle is blood
From pounding at your door.
So, I’ll leave it at I love you and I’ll mean it to the bone
And I’ll begin to mend
That red piece of me that was torn
And I won’t try to push that river anymore.
