I hear your voice every time
I hear the song approaching the top of my playlist
And you know, there's a reason I always skip it
I can't bear hearing your voice
Even when I know you're not really there
And the words whispered into my ear
Were never yours in the first place
The song makes my heart beat faster
So much that I just
Want
It
To
End
So I could live in a world without music for once
Without that white noise in the background of my memory
Reminding me of you
Like your life is on replay
A remix intertwined with mine
Four bars of bittersweet harmony take me back
To a time when I knew who I was
I was your girlfriend
Sweet and naive
Turned into a monster I never wanted to be
And that is the reason
I can't bear to hear those four bars
Not for you or for me
For both of us
I stay away
