Depth Perception

I woke up in a panic
Deciding factor to better myself
If it takes more effort
I left it behind to disregard
I should have looked before moving on
at what you thought you felt all along
you'd take back everything you said
the end you see
again you speak
a desperate act
to retract
from your mouth came the promise
that you don't seem to notice
your lips formed words
that can't be retracted
so why can't you hear?
the words you said dear
were made so clear
why can't you hear them now?
why can't you hear?
In the long run you came out [????] free
for a second chance
routine, waste of time
when stopped and asked
did you remember his name?
In the brief moment away?
did you take on the silent you made?
we will never now how its meant to be
