We met in a lonely place A look of curiosity reflected on my face You took the seat next to mine With a camera-ready smile I rolled my eyes and downed my wine You were wearing my husband’s cologne With a cheesy joker’s grin You knew I’d be all alone And that I was desperate enough to sin I woke up beside you in some hotel What looked like heaven was hiding hell But by then you knew me too well How I’d rather die than go off by myself
You took me to places I’d never been before We stayed up all night living scenes of folklore I warned you about the coming storm, you insisted we’d be fine That was when you whispered, “I know you’re unhappy. So am I.” Your face imprinted in my mind Tapping my foot, anxiously waiting outside I anticipate your signal under the moonlight’s glow To this day I still know exactly when and where to go
We proceeded to meet in dark alleyways I never noticed how close we were to your place Even with my guilt I still could never get enough Who knew someone with eyes so gentle could ever be so rough? Our spouses turned a blind eye, we took it as a sign and carried on Now the line is blurred between what is right and what is wrong My friends can’t resist their sly remarks They notice the spark reigniting in my eyes You mended my broken and barren heart But you’ll never be mine
For 6 long months we lived in the shiniest fables Sneaking out almost every night, I have the path memorized But it didn’t take long before our land became unstable It all came crashing down, I was crushed by the weight of our lies When the sirens rang you were nowhere to be found You left my cold body to bleed on the ground The look in your face is all I can remember now You were unhappy and I was your way out You held my broken frame Somehow, there was always somebody else to blame Now I’ll never be the same No, we’ll never be the same
Now I sit at our table all alone Trying desperately to erase the markings you made on me The place we proudly called home Has become the setting in tragedies I stare at my reflection and remember your touch What once brought me back to life now only hurts so much Our bed became my tomb Now I can’t escape the ghost of you
All I wish to do is forget now But it’s hard to when you’re plastered all over town The secrets and stories we both passed down Someday you’ll leave my mind but I don’t know how They say you’re still nowhere to be found
