The Hutton Play - All Else Failed

you dropped it.

you saw the finish line.

you saw the dollar sign.

it was in your hands.

it was given, a chip shot.

it was in your back pocket.

but you dropped it.

you, you let it fall,

let it slip away.

slip right through your fingers,

and now you look pathetic

trying to get it all back.

but it’s fucking over.

i saw it all before, about one hundred times.

each time looks the same.

you, you let it fall.

i thought i was dreaming.

i couldn’t move, couldn’t look away.

you let it fall.

i tried to warn you, but you did it anyway.

you let it fall.

you broke every heart but your own.

you dropped it

that didn’t just happen.

you dropped it
