Post 364: Relegated (4/13/10)

Relegated (1/27/10 c, 4/13/10 w)

I wish that I could have been more to you than what I am

Another cruel turn of fate
I don’t know if it was a mistake
Or a trial I had to, I had to go through
To make me a better man, or better understand

I had to be the one you jaded

To be waiting by the phone
When you’re not home
Relegated
To a memory, an unfinished dream
I know this is what it seems
Relegated

There are times or two
When I wish I was still in love with you
Or maybe you were in love with me
But those times are too far in the rearview mirror to see
And you probably, probably have everything
Living every dream we ever had
But I’ve been replaced by someone new
Someone who could never love you as much as I do

I had to be the one you jaded

To be waiting by the phone
When you’re not home
Relegated
To a memory, an unfinished dream
I know this is what it seems
Relegated

Waiting for you to remember my name

But I know it never came, never came from your lips
On an idle Thursday when your mind starts to wonder
And you revisit the past with rose colored glasses
Do you ever see me, see me in your dreams
Because I still dream about you
But the only things we do together
Are in the world of never

I had to be the one you jaded

To be waiting by the phone
When you’re not home
Relegated
To a memory, an unfinished dream
I know this is what it seems
