"Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"- Sam Montgomery from A Cinderella Story.


He wrote her a song, but it never got finished.
They both fell in love but it was soon diminished.
She sits on his bed and cries in his lap.
He cries back at her, knowing they can't go back.
Hours go by and neither one can accept,
That by letting go they are doing what's best.
At the end of the day, comes the part which he fears,
To let her go without shedding a tear.
Never again will he kiss her goodbye,
And just that thought makes him start to cry.
Now he'll finish that song, and he'll write it today,
This is the start and here's what it says.
"You are my siren, you drew me in,
With a voice like an angel and the softest skin.
Your eyes shine like diamonds and your smile melts my heart,
I know that nothing could tear us apart."
That's what he wrote and let me just say,
That he'd never do anything to throw that away.
But that's not how it works, this worlds bitter and harsh,
And then something happened, which drew them apart.
An old boyfriend showed up and that's when he knew,
That her feelings for him were not shiny and new.
This person left her and crushed her heart,
But she had loved him since the very start.
When our boy came along she saw a way,
To end her pain and make it all go away.
But by loving this person through thick and through thin,
She looked at our boy and wished it was him.
Now this is where the second verse starts,
it's about how she seemed to break his heart.
He found out her feelings, it went straight to his head,
so he carried on writing and here's what he said.
“You make me smile when no one else can.
It just makes me happy to be your man,
But it hurts me deeply that you long for his heart.
I thought we would last but this breaks us apart.”
He sat in his room and just wished he,
Could be just like her ex so that they could be.
But as long as he was there they could never be true,
So he'd sit in his room feeling sad and blue.
Now comes the part where she's crying in his lap,
They both just decided to never go back.
The pain is immense but it's saving his heart,
Because staying with her would rip him apart.
Here's where he decides to finish the song,
The story of how it all went wrong.
He starts the last verse with tears dripping off his nose,
The papers all wet but here's how it goes.
“You were my siren you drew me in,
you taught me to love and you taught me to sin.
I never thought you could break my heart,
But I guess we were wrong right from the start.
You were my siren now I'm dead at sea,
you drew me in but you didn't want me.
I just wish I knew where it all went wrong,
But now another lost sailor can hear your song.
