I’m faced with it
Being happy for you
I remember your longing
The willing lover
Now pleasing another

I don’t want to think about it
We both know what it means
You have to pretend
It’s never been like that
Or maybe it’s true

I keep expecting
It’s how an obsession lives
The reason it ended
Was not about love
Only about life

The way the sun sets
It’s all I know now
The town doesn’t care
So I find something that does
Lost lovers always do

Dancing across a memory
It’s not my floor anymore
I could find it again
But someone has to want me
That’s how it once began

You say goodnight
I expect you to try
That’s the hard part
Giving your best
It once was mine
