i know you well enough to know
what’s happening now, has happened before
and will likely happen again

you are made of your own misfortune
you wear it like a badge of honor

i’m telling you now,
give up your post

the bad men live to explore you
in order to destroy you

you give him an in
he won’t take it slow
no ifs or buts, you’re starting to show

i’m worried you may never let this go

i get it, you’re desperate and alone
but darling, history repeats itself

you decide to say yes now
but get scared later

maybe you even say yes then
now look, you’re crying in the shower

i promise you a month of regret
and crying to your friends

who don’t give a **** now
they know you did it to yourself

being with someone
even once
even if it means something
will not fill the hole inside you now

it won’t fix the loneliness
it will only manifest it
