I steal a heart
And then I break it
I fall in love
But then I fake it

I tell off my friends
And beg to be forgiven
I try and be better
But then do it all again

I ask you for your secrets
And then tell you mine
I know all about you
But all you know is lies

I say that I need your aid
And then proceed to cower
I let you think you're king
But really I have the power

I tell you that I love you
And I know that you'll stay
I toy with you heart
But you never go away

I know the words to make you leave
And I hold them over your head
I know the words you want to hear
But I think I'll torture you instead

I'm such an awful person
And of this I'm sure
I could tell you over again
But you'll still think I'm angelic and pure

Fingers slide over a touch screen
Pushing nonexistent keys
Words then strung into sentences
Should be so full of meaning
The 'I love you's and 'sweet heart's
     lies
Deft fingers dance on a keyboard
Typing forever a message not sent
Backspace and delete, find better words
Think of something comforting and kind
Make sure to put 'I love you' at the end
               lies
Ringing and buzzing, he's calling again
Let out a sigh, put on a loving voice
Click on answer, talk for an hour
Harder to feign emotion on the phone
Say 'I love you too', hang up
                         lies
See him in the distance, put on your smile
Tap on the shoulder, hug from behind
Hope your mask doesn't falter
Hand in hand, a kiss on the lips
'I'm so glad I met you' reply 'me too'
                                   lies

**Repeat

My mum's asleep
Her boyfriend left
The dog ran away
My hamster's dead

Now mum's awake
Her boyfriends back
The dog came home
But my hamster

He's still dead

I did my make up and I did my hair
I even found something pretty to wear
I put on heels for the first time in weeks
I look at the clock and it reads three

I waited patiently by the door
Soon it was quarter past four
You said you'd be hear at half past three
I wonder if you had somewhere else to be

The clock hands keep moving, now it reads five
Maybe, I thought, you forgot how to drive
And all this way, you had to walk
Still I waited and there was no ring or knock

The clock relentlessly still ticks
And now it reads ten after six
My phone buzzes on the arm of the chair
"Hello, are you there?"

Stuck sitting a hospital waiting room
Terrified and anxious, awaiting the news
Its only a matter of time
The clock hands tick over to nine

Tonight was supposed to be a fairy tale
Instead it rated a ten on the horror scale
The clock read 11:03 when they told me the news
There was too much damage and they couldn't save you
