What You Wanted To Do

by ·

I see why'd you do
what you wanted to do.
And who am I
to try and stop you?
Your mind is made up
to do what you wanted to do.

I am not you,
this much is true.
I'll never know all
you have been through,
to make you do
what you wanted to do.

But I won't stand by,
and watch as you
do what you wanted to do.

… What would I do
If I were you?
I honestly haven't a clue …

I pray that tomorrow
brings life anew:
Where you won't want to do
what you wanted to do,
and are happy just being you.

You'll look up to the sky
and swim in the blue;
And be thankful that you
didn't go through
with what you wanted to do.

Thankful that I
did what I
thought I had to do.

Thankful that you
didn't go through
with what you wanted to do.
