First you go and fill my ears
Kind words over our last kiss
Said you'll miss me and that your heart belongs to me

I buy it

Every one of your treacherous words
Sound like music for this hopeful boy

I buy your mid-way smiles
I buy too, the tears you shed that afternoon
And I made the choice
Completely sure it was the right call

The universe loves to prove me wrong

You flew
While I stayed. Feet glued to the Earth
And I long for your return
While you long for someone else

I buy your lies
Your let's-keep-him-clueless hurtful lies
The delicious sounding I'll be thinking of you
That is a knife aimed at my back

A month and three weeks later
The tears in your confession were just make-believe
All damage already done

Two once-upon-a-time lovers looking at the aftermath

Gasping breaths
Pleading sorry's
Broken hearts
And I buy them
But this boy's hopeful heart has given up

Live happily ever after
Just not with me, and
Buy my tears
They're not resentful
They're the clear-cut evidence
This hopeful heart
Loved you once
