Oops

I lay down and rest,
Like my finger resting on the trigger.
Oops, my finger slipped,
Like your love when it slipped away from me…

Oops, I tripped.
I was just running to catch your love,
And besides…
I didn’t know it had fallen so far down.

Oops, I went too deep.
Looks like I was carried away in the moment,
Like when my love got carried away,
And went too deep for you.

Oops, I forgot to breathe.
Look what you do to me…
You take my mind off the important things,
And I get careless.

Oops, I tripped again.
But this time I won’t fall very far,
Because I’m at the end of my rope,
As well as the end of the rope of your love.

Oops, I was distracted,
And I took too much.
Looks like too much of a good thing can kill you.
But apparently…
So can too little.
