Hello there stranger, it's been a while since I've called.
I didn't mean to let you down, but you were more than I was asking for.
Can we take a step back, you know some things are better left unsaid.
Now if one night is all you're asking for, I'm sure we can try this again.
(Let's start again).

Can we turn the clocks back, maybe we can live this night again.
You know I've heard the rumours, just like you,
"There's nothing there that constitutes as 'just friends'".
There's a reason this hasn't been mentioned, it's one of those things
that should remain unsaid (let it stay unsaid).

And all these feelings are so confusing, and please forgive me if I'm wrong.
It's not like you to stumble over words, can you repeat that one more time,
I can't hear you over this song.
Slow down for a second, I hope you know what's going on.
Don't make me remind you, that when morning comes, there are some things
that just can't be undone.

Can we turn the clocks back, maybe we can live this night again.

"There's nothing there that constitutes as 'just friends'".

Don't play the victim, because we've both known form the start,
That once you make this personal, sometimes rejection is taken to heart
(Don't take this to heart).
But I guess that this is an apology, is 'I'm sorry' even enough.
Did I take things too far, or did I cross the line, that's had us divided from
the first time we slipped up.

It's been a while stranger, and I'm sorry that we ended here.
Know that I'm not asking for forgiveness, honestly it never meant that much to me.
You were nothing more than a pretty face, amongst the ugly scenery.
So don't complicate things, not now, not then.
It was one of those things that should have stayed in your head- it should have
stayed unsaid.
(Why can't things stay unsaid-
Please just let this stay unsaid-
Just let this stay unsaid).
(An Ode to a Friend)

Long story short, I got a text today from someone I haven't spoken to in a while and then this happened.

Feedback is always appreciated.
