It took me three days to feel again,
You know, after our break up.
After I acted like I didn't care,
And you see, I wasn't acting.
At the time, I didn't care, at all
I didn't realize that after I sent that final, "K bye"
Was the last thing I'd ever say to you.
I didn't realize that whatever we had would be over
Just like that.

The worst part is that I see you everywhere
Your friends are my friends, and
My friends are your friends.
I see you on the street,
I see you with our friends,
I see you with her.
She who doesn't know that we were ever anything,
She who believes that I am totally acceptant and encouraging of your relationship with her.

And it stings,
It makes me feel a variety of things which I find very hard to explain.
I'm frustrated because I feel like what we had wasn't real
I'm annoyed because I feel like we didn't try
I'm furious because apparently you liked her while we were a thing
And I'm disappointed because I thought you'd be more considerate.

I guess I just wanted the idea of you,
Because the reality was a total let down.
A lesson learned
