i want to turn you down like the volume
watch you fade to black
replaced with something more promising

it’s funny how the things you loved most about a person
can be the same things that make you despise them so many months later

your alluring, elusive charade isn’t enticing
superficial doesn’t even cover your lack of substance
never before had I been fooled
but i somehow don’t regret it
it’s nice to have something simple to believe in sometimes

if i wrote a list of disappointments
your name would be the title
never has falling been more charming

knowing you is like running circles in the sand
now the shore is covered in beautiful, useless patterns
and i am just waiting for the tide to wash them away

I’m glad you didn’t stop for me
but i almost hope you turn around
to see the waves rushing in
