You told me you loved me And it took me a moment A millisecond thought Heart in my stomach A time I could only picture If they heard my “I love you” When they had their hands on Another
And another millisecond Merciless thoughts How easy it was for them To look in my eyes And wish they were someone else’s Hopes higher than my head Heart dropping to my feet
A millisecond to remember Wishing they’d have mercy on me
Only a moment To know delicate And kindness without expectation You hold my chin Stop me from looking at my feet Have mercy on me.
