But I Had to Cut the Rope

The night is strangely quiet
When I cannot hear your voice
But I had to cut the rope
I didn't have a choice.

Perhaps it is unfair of me
To listen to you cry
But I had to cut the rope
I didn't have to tell you why.

Its not because I'm callous
Or selfish or so cruel
But I had to cut the rope
Because you played me like a fool.

I know you didn't mean to
The truth is hard for you to see
But I had to cut the rope
Because we were not meant to be.

I am searching for the answers
In my own familiar game
But I had to cut the rope
You did not feel the same.

Maybe I should have guessed
I likely should have known
But I had to cut the rope
And leave you there alone.
