Bernadine

Bernadine what a waste this has turned out to be
All my effort and time when its really just been a mockery
Rewind no, I'm not one of a kind
You know you're slipping but you don't seem to mind
I hear you crying but I'm sure you're fine
O Bernadine

Two years back I remember the smack that you talked about
The preppies and the jocks and the superficial box you've been put in
But interest turns from a fad to a fact and the further you backed down that hall
The more I knew that you wanted it all
Though you run like the wind you can't forget where you've been

Bernadine I can't help but notice you're not who you wanted to be when you started
Bernadine I seem to remember you swearing you liked who you were when we parted so
Take it easy. Take it slow. Don't lose your head.
I'll quote directly from your own words so
if you never need me, at least i'll know
you've found something I'm not, so don't let go
I know you changed who you are but if you ever change your mind
I'll always remember.
How could I forget.
