I must believe that you never did
I've got to make this easier
that ignore button looks rather attractive tonight,
and my hands are itching to punch the escape key;
to break this habit,
like my last cigarette,
I'll tuck you behind my ear
for safe keeping and promise not to use you
Too bad I can't say the same for your philosophy
You'll be in the books one day,
and I'll be the only one not reading your words
I would label you a mess,
but I misplaced my feather pen
which wrote with the tenderness of your apologies
and pricked with the sting of their fakeness
I'll be sure to thank you for this one day,
whenever I find my way up the ledge you dropped me off
In your sweet exterior lives a monster worth more
than Nessie and money has always made me uneasy
Sorry sir,
but I'll take "Not-So-Sweet Goodbye" for right now
and you can take the mat with you because you're not welcome anymore
Set this in stone and take your walk of shame with you
I promise not to watch
Your tears could flood me out and I've got a
plan to keep me dry and untouched
But I must believe you never did,
cause it'll only get worse from here
I'm glad you liked it.
