You like me, right?
We're going to be together forever
We'll build a home together
Raise a couple kids
Embrace them as we see them off to college
As we exhale for the very last time
We'll be hand in hand
Never leaving each other's side

You love me, right?

When you're through ******* me?
We just have fallen so hard in just moments
That you can't resist me anymore...

Right?

But I know this isn't the truth
Clasping at a nonexistent shred of hope
This isn't passion
There is no love here
But I mix denial with benefit of the doubt

And deep down I know what you, like all the others, want
I don't want to give it, but I let you take it anyway
I feel every ****** in my soul
Dignity and Pride dying slow
I said yes
