the ponytail parades

three sleepless nights

this isn't how its supposed to be. but you're so good at

taking your time to get back to me. i will wait for you forever

if you would just ask me. i thought that i could change you

but you changed me. it doesn't feel right

holding someone else's hand. together on phone line

and living at two opposite ends. it scares me to think

that you could find takers other than me

and better than me. but your head is elsewhere

and i'm talking enough for both of us. when will you see it's not so easy for me

you're careless

and whispered

insulting

and bruising. and i thought that you said things were improving. these laces are untied

but my feet are still walking away. away

i never thought that you could say these words. is this really happening?

i never thought that you could say these words. is this really happening?

i never thought that you could say these words. is this really happening?

i never thought that you could say these words. is this really happening?

i never thought that you could say these words. is this really happening?

erase my name from this page. how can you take all these days

and throw them away

as i sit here waiting for you

i stay up nights

until stars leave the sky

knowing what my dreams can take away

walk away from me. this night is done.
