Don’t Get In My Way

I tossed your Tiffany engagement ring

Somewhere in Delaware

As if I cared. 

I was running away

I had nothing to say 

You weren’t right for me

I still had the world to see

Stop, yield.  

Don’t merge in my lane 

I’m waiting for the signal to change

Don’t get in my way

So much wasted time

I’ve ran out of words to rhyme

You’re no good for me

And I’m better off... without you

You thought in the beginning you’d blind me

But my eyes adjusted 

To what was true. 

I was finding myself

Without anything left

You captured my past 

Thinking i would never last 

No, don’t,

You’re not worth my time 

I’m waiting for a chance to rise now

Don’t get in my way

So much wasted time

I’ve ran out of words to rhyme

You’re no good for me

And I’m better off... without you

Continual disappointments

In the name of “love”

But I’m a stubborn Taurus

Don’t get in my way

So much wasted time 

I forget to question why

I struggle with it

Why I’m better off...  without you
