Shandée- Sleepy Watch: When Time Runs Out on Love

Why stare at me with such surprise? Did you think I'd never rise? Did you assume I'd stay on the ground, weeping for you, always to be found?

Your clock fell asleep and didn't wake, It let time pass, and now it's too late, You no longer exist in my mind, I left you and your love behind.

When you left, loneliness came, Whispering to me that you weren't to blame, Hard it was to accept the truth, But I finally removed you from my heart's booth.

Life is like a novel, you see, And you're not the protagonist in my story, Where I'll have my happy ending, With or without you, my heart mending.

Don't touch me, you no longer have the right, I'm done being held down by your might, The fool you knew is gone, you'll find, And a stronger version of me, in his mind.

When you're blinded by love's illusion, You fail to see the bigger conclusion, While you beg for the love you lack, Someone else is watching, ready to take your slack.

That's what happened to me, you know, I gave myself the chance to let love grow, And here I am, embracing this new start, Handing my heart to someone with a loving heart.

Don't be mistaken, I'm not laughing at you, I don't even pity you, that's true, I just want you to know it's goodbye, And that I have the courage to say it, don't ask why.

I see you face-to-face, like I used to love, But now I say goodbye with the same force, That I used to say "I love you" in the past, I wish you well, hope your love will last.

With the same valor that I professed my love, I declare that you'll find no love here, above, Move on, let go, and let the past be, For this is where our love story ends, you see.
