Bad Religion // JG

...and I quickly took my hand away

too much pain brought along with that touch

bad memories that were rushing back

balled up in that lone tear

I miss you, you told me

and I quickly became the beauty in the breakdown

You never asked if I was okay

with you leaving me for good and moving on

allowing me to fade away like the smoke that escaped your lips everyday

You never asked if I was okay

And I didn't want you to see me like this

I wanted to show you my strengths

not my weaknesses

That yes I've been fine

I've been buried in textbooks

But not the part where I'd waste my time

wondering what life would've been like

to get out of class and come home to your arms

whether here or back in Omaha

I wouldn't have cared

And I know that you know if you would've asked

Asked me to come with you away from the 402

I would've packed up my entire room

But you didn't

And you haven't

now there's someone else

& she probably spends the night

sleeping on the same side of the bed I used to
