I don’t know what to tell you 
I don’t know what you want me to say
 Every weekend it’s the same 
Same question
 Same silence
 Same feelings 
Same darkness 
Every time it’s an elongated silence from that question
 The one I can’t answer
 You stand next to me, looking down from our height different holding your Heineken as you slur your words to me
 Do you love me?
 There it is again.
 That question.
 How do you tell someone you love you don’t love them the same way they love you?
 Our drunken nights and endless fights are like a boomerang thrown at the end of the night
Delaying its return every time 
I’m sure I don’t want you
 Is all I have to say, but I’ve kissed you and held you and dribbled with your heart 
I am the ***** that has used you for the lack of embracement she is most needed of
 I chose the wrong person 
The wrong lover 
The wrong time
 You’re drunk with all these lies I tell you
 Enamored by the ones you barely remember 
From the memories of when I used to make you coffee
“You make the best brew” he says
 But what he doesn’t know is that even my demons make good coffee 
Even the heartless monster inside me has sweet kisses to give out
 Even the ***** that I am can make you think she loves you back.
 I’m sorry, I just never told you that.
