We're speeding towards
The inevitable Friday
When I must hear your voice again
And be flooded with chemicals
I don't understand

You said you loved the things
That you now say suffocate you -
Does my gentleness not measure up
To the cruelty you know and love?

Why did you trick me
With words too good to be true
And why did I believe them?
I should have known a monster
Only attracts other monsters

And yet you made me feel like an angel
And you will so again
With your words of deceit
You don't realise are deceitful

You still love me
Except the parts
I was happiest you loved -
Maybe we aren't all as perfect
As you made me feel,
Maybe one bad day is all it took
To break the unbreakable

Maybe it isn't you
Who would be better off
But me -
When will the voice in the back of my skull
Scream loud enough to be heard?

I knew you'd love me more
Than I could ever love you -
Your love is in vain,
For a sieve can old no water
And Scorpius can never reach Orion
