I thought I knew you I thought we were on the same page About life and love and all of the above But it turns out, we weren’t even in the same library And you didn’t have the heart to tell me You have no courage Your mind swims in the deep end While your mouth dips a toe in the shallow You lack integrity You took what I told you and let it simmer In a *** of old stock that was never intended for consumption Your led me on Like the SAT when you left the difficult questions for the end Except this time you knew the answers but you couldn’t bare to tell me Should I be flattered? That you were trying to protect me from your feelings? I’m insulted that you didn’t think I could handle the truth And now, 5 years later I’ve learned how to fear love And how important it is to question intentions But that’s not what I was looking for So thank you For wasting my time

[You wasted my time]
I thought I knew you I thought we were on the same page About life and love and all of the above But it turns out, we weren’t even in the same library And you didn’t have the heart to tell me You have no courage Your mind swims in the deep end While your mouth dips a toe in the shallow You lack integrity You took what I told you and let it simmer In a *** of old stock that was never intended for consumption Your led me on Like the SAT when you left the difficult questions for the end Except this time you knew the answers but you couldn’t bare to tell me Should I be flattered?
