now he says
They always wait until it's too late
She smiled your direction
which you grew fond of over time
but at first you never approached her
now you say be mine
She brushed you walking by
in the hallways, lounge, and lines
you could only apologize and carry on
now you say be mine
She made you laugh and happy
in ways you haven't been in a long time
yet you'd ignore her texts for days and days
now you say be mine
She opened her heart to you
and showed you that she too, wasn't fine
her soul was broken just like yours
now you say be mine
She grew weary from trying so hard
to make your love shine
you told her you could care less
now you say be mine
She cried and hurt and suffered
and waited for change a long time
you let her wait for nothing
now you say be mine
She realized she needed more
and saw that love was blind
and once she chose to wait no more
now you say be mine
She teared up and walked away
leaving you, longing behind
you told her she betrayed you
now you say be mine
She saw your anger and your hurt
and any emotions for the first time
yet your time is up, you're too late
now you say be mine
She told him he'd always be in her heart
and she could never put him out of mind
but her last words to her lover were good-bye
now he says be mine.
