hear me

what a perfect couple, that’s what they say

holding hands, kissing in the hallway

when no one’s watching, we walk away

what a wreck in trust that we have made.

we’re both silent when something’s wrong

that’s how we made it this long.

our eyes were talking but they don’t meet

breathe, all we ever do was cheat.

i’m staying, it’s my first resort

leaving is just a second thought

i’m the one who lies, as if you’re not

don’t come clean, our truths are out.

your door’s unlocked, I didn’t need a key

you heard the slam, now your bed’s empty

i’m the one who left, that’s how they’ll know me

nevermind, we were both angry.

it was midnight i was walking with bare feet

thieves were running on the seventh street

they stole our neighbor’s watch with my blood on it

a few feet from your house while you’re asleep.

your name was my last word, did you hear?

it’s time to wake up, come find me here.
