wine turns to vinegar
roses to dust
and before the leaves turn in the autumn
i have to let you go

hey, space cadet
you left your head on mars
your body in my bedroom
your gaze stuck to the wall

and i can't bear it
to look at you and see
that you aren't looking at me

but this is the only way you'll have me
lying undone beneath you
forced to watch the stars lose their shine
same as when i let you take mine

you’re a decadent cake soaked with poison
artfully arranged because you're always on display
but no one knows you’ve been steeping in self-doubt
constant infidelity

you can’t resist hurting people and i couldn't resist you
even when you brushed me (and him and her) away
like we were just the crumbs left behind in your destruction

you were delicious
but i regret taking a bite
