You wanted to see me before I left the day after tomorrow

I told you to just stay the night

but you had recording to do in the morning

and who was I to come in between that?

so I spent the majority of my day shopping

exploring what Los Angeles had to offer

and it was like you were everywhere

not with Johnson like you should be

but everyone was talking about your relationship

with her

all the teenage girls on their phones

seated in starbucks, sharing gossip

and theories

saying evil things about her past

and who she did or didn't screw

I felt a certain peace knowing it was her instead of me

I didn't want to be hated by millions

having false accusations made about me

I would've only wanted you

Not the drama

But after that peace I felt a feeling of loss

because I've lost you to the bright city lights and flashy life

i've lost you to someone who keeps you swimming in it

I've lost my Jack

And so when I saw you later that night

I couldn't find it in myself to greet you with a kiss

even after you moved in for one

it didn't feel right

I'd be kissing a stranger
