when i hear that song
i see your arms around his neck
i see you laughing and him smiling back
i remember the jealousy that burned inside
as i wondered why i couldn't make you laugh like that anymore.

when i hear that song
i remember the nights i spent in a frenzy
trying to stop myself from falling apart
as you reassured me everything was fine
when i knew you were spouting words to him
those three words
strictly reserved for lovers
that were once strictly reserved for you and me.

when i hear that song
i remember your voice
telling me 'we're just friends'
and all i heard was still static
and the beat that skipped in my hollow chest
and my bones one by one collapsing

when i hear that song
i think of you
and when i hear that song
i can't help but think of him
