I Can't Change The Rhyme

This was once a simple love song starting out so sweet
Then somewhere in the middle I came up incomplete
The fleeting nature of forever, a conditional pledge
Now I find it was a gamble without a lover’s hedge

V2:
I let the words sink in and they sort of made sense
She’d had different ways to tell me she was on the fence
Now it’s something like acceptance but it’s never quite real
I still feel her in the background not allowing me to heal

Chorus:
Wind blowing off the lake as I try to clear my head
Reaching for the answers with questions there instead
(and I’ll) Rewrite the ending try to bend the space and time
And I might change the tune but I can’t change the rhyme

V3:
So I planned to turn the corner I’m not a hanger on
Still I hear the whispered question is she really gone?
Now I’m staring at the darkness but there’s still a little light
Breaking through the sadness it won’t leave my sight

Chorus:
Wind blowing off the lake as I try to clear my head
Reaching for the answers with questions there instead
(and I’ll) Rewrite the ending try to bend the space and time
And I might change the tune but I can’t change the rhyme
