You say you are no longer with that girl
But I'm not sure that's really true
I am yours unconditionally
For a little while you were mine too

But hidden under the surface
Were sickening secrets held back
Yet had too many stories and alibis
For me to be able to keep track

Our future dangled from a thread
Swinging from your careless fingertips
But you chose to walk a different road
Out of your grasp my whole world slipped

I don't know when your feelings shifted
Glimmer in your eyes remains the same
Except now it disappears when we talk
Until you bring up her name
