The refrain made the first tear fall
Love was so strong, at least at the beginning
Who would’ve thought there’d be an ending
I didn’t, but by the time the chorus was on, I knew that the universe conspired
That song, that time, as if I didn’t know
And tried to pretend that maybe, just maybe
all the little things for her
would maybe just once transfer to me
instead of derision, diviseness and derelict
that I might be worth a modicrum of effort
worth 10 mins just so I could exhale
As I sat with the punch to the gut
Five miles to empty because I needed you to fill me up
“why oh why, why would you make me cry”
for me
not for my mind, money or moves
I wasn’t worth the effort
of even saying good bye
so
There was nothing left to say
