One Decent Course


It's either fine how it was,
or it's better now

and I don't care which,
just as long as it fits

you can write whatever end
you want, of the story 
or technically I guess,
set the sequel up

if you finally think
you made a mistake
here's a last chance
to make it right

it's either over like it was,
or else we move on
I refuse to let it drag
on without a fight.
Any longer like this
in my heart, I mean
- you have no idea
there was anything there
but over it
is whatever's between
us at all,

And at least one had 
to care. 

You knew what you had to do,
and you went

right ahead full knowing the cost
you spent, 

but if you finally think
you made a mistake, here's
a last chance to make it right
and if you still think
what you did was right, then

Here's another chance to cut the loss.
Just one more wound,
to wind and bind, if you finally think

You made a mistake. Here's a last chance
to at least make it right. And

you're not the boss anymore, you know. 
But at least
you could serve 
one decent course tonight.
