The last time that I saw your face
I was in a broken state
& as I drove off
I felt the knot tighten around this noose
Just moments ago in your embrace
I finally understood the way
That you no longer saw in me
the girl that you once knew
They say that eventually time heals all wounds
& that even when your inerts are battered & bruised
One day you will feel as if you are whole again
If I’m being honest, I’m not sure I believe that’s the truth
& even if it is I’m not sure I’ll ever be ready to
Accept this as another it is what it is
Maybe that’s why I still look for you
In the faces of every **** passerby
Wondering why
They’re not you
& every single time
I catch a glimpse of an eye
Out of the corner of mine
I pray to God it’s not you
‘Cause I know that I need to move on with my life
Cut the rope loose & take it in strife
With every fiber of my being I must summon my power of will
It kills me to let go & yet it’s killing me to hold on
Stuck in this endless loop, a twisted conundrum
‘Cause I don’t want to
But I don’t want to want you
Still
