No need to check the time, I know
Instinct sees me reach for a phone
No message, no thought, hopeless
Everything now is ashen or stone
That moment before truth catches up
And I bear a split-second grin
Where you are still there, you still care
And then the reality, you didn’t begin
Talk of a future, you said it not me
I wanted it more, now I can see
That words mean nothing
Just cheap currency
I want to hate you, it would be easier
But I can’t, and it hurts me to say
You’ve not been the first
To push my love away
The soft gentle discard, those careful words
That you tried to find
To offer comfort not grief
But they still haunt my mind
I made you ill? You told me your truth
But what did I do
I didn’t push, I didn’t chase
I just fell for you
You had me at hello
So corny I know
And now your goodbye
A fatalistic blow
My world so much smaller now
I broke my own heart
I dared to believe
A fool from the start
And in each broken piece
There is nothing but pain
And 4 a.m. tears
Will fall once again.
