To the Guy Who Won't Commit

Dear guy who won’t commit,

 

To the guy who won’t commit

But has me wrapped around his finger

Whose mind at times seems present

But his heart will always linger

 

I hate the circumstances you’ve given me

It keeps me up at night

Sometimes I just accept it

Sometimes I want to fight

 

Your eyes tell me you want me

Your actions say you don’t

One day I plan to leave you

But still I know I won’t

 

My heart wants what it wants

And unfortunately that’s you

Maybe it’d be easier if you loved me

But you don’t have a clue

 

I’ve done it all before

It didn’t go so well

And every time I fall for you

Its back to eternal hell

 

I am a ticking time bomb

As you’re stuck stringing me along

You’ve seen the way it hurts me

You can’t expect me to stay too long

 

But still you know I want to

You watch me break inside

Day by day you wound me

Leave the pieces all behind

 

To the boy who won’t commit

One day you’ll be a man

You’ll find your perfect woman

Won’t let go of her hand

 

But that girl just is not me

Hard to swallow but its true

So today I will move on

And one day I’ll find somebody new

 

He’ll treat me like I’m worthy

The way you knew you should

You never seemed to do it

I’m not sure that you could

 

I met you too soon.

Before I was smart enough to know

That real love would stay

And guys like you come and go

 

You met me before I was ready

Before I had a chance to change

Before I realized my own value

Before I learned to embrace my name

 

You meet me just so soon

At a time so immature

Give it years and I’d be better

You were definitely sure

 

But there is a man out there

Who doesn’t need time to see

What a great girl I am

And a happy couple we’d be

 

He’ll open all my doors

Meet my parents on the first date

Make us known to the public

Friends and family think he’s great

 

He’ll be there when I need him

At the worst times and the best

Lord knows that I’m crazy

It’ll put him to the test

 

But every time he’ll ace them

What a lucky girl am I

He’ll carry me when ill

He’ll hold me when I cry

 

He’ll do for me what you never could

Things are better this way

He’ll love me the way I am

The words you could never say

 

So today is the day I’m leaving

The day I walk away

Do what’s best for me

And my choice, I think, will pay

 

To the guy who won’t commit

I have high hopes for you

You are brilliant, you are unique

Show the world what you can do

 

Don’t be afraid to love

A lesson I hope you take

I wish you find your girl

And you learn from your mistake

 

I’m sure that she’ll be lovely

Breathtaking with every sight

Bubbly in her laughter

Make sure you treat her right

 

So our story comes to a close

But individually we soar

A bright future ahead

One closed, but one new opened door

 

Thank you for your lessons

What I’ve learned I’ll never forget

Our time together was worth it

We sang our own duet

 

But now I must go on

And learn to sing alone

Goodbye you goon, I’ll miss you

The bluebird has now flown
