We use to sit and talk every once in a while,
We had moments that consisted of only a smile.
A few secrets were lifted
And feelings seemed to have drifted,

But I still found myself counting stars,
Searching for your favorite cars.
Believing we had it all,
Even knowing we were about to fall.

I knew I was boarding a sinking ship,
But I hoped that was just a false tip.
A jealous remark from an old lover,
Something to separate me from another.

Yet your words still roam my mind,
Thinking how did I ever get this blind?
You knew from the start right?
You knew I wouldn’t be the one to end this fight.

So you sat me down and explained
That you didn’t want to be claimed.
You didn’t want to have to fake.
You didn’t want to cause my heart break.

So,
I watched all your pauses,
I heard you repeat all the causes.
I hoped that it was all a bad dream,
But I guess that’s too main-stream

Because I looked you in the eyes.
I saw no trust, no love, just lies.
I didn’t see the person that I thought I knew
And that’s when I recognized the fake within you…
