"I can't believe I'm relating to 'Reckless' again."
We begin with how you dodged
My questions again yesterday,
Like bullets from a gun,
You never stopped to question if we were okay.
I didn't either, that's my fault,
I didn't either, now it's a taunt,
Said I was the only one.
Believed it, I don't know why,
Happened before, I should've learned,
The truth is he never loses track of time.
My friends didn't really know,
But man they knew something else,
"He's been around with this other girl,"
If there's a story, how much more is there to tell?
It's not like I never heard the whispers,
"You know that asshole's two-timing her,"
I ignored them out of a drop of faith,
And it was all confirmed that March 8th.
He says you went out with her last night,
"Again" and I am trying not to cry,
Said I didn't have to worry when it came to her,
Words of reassurance, just that. They were words.
Butt of the joke, aren't I stupid?
But you always smelled of the smoke, now it's confusing,
Why is your world split into thirds?
Why am I always just never enough?
Should I believe my friends?
I can't believe this is happening again,
Though I saw the signs they did too,
Isn't it my fault for having that ounce of faith in you?
Evidence screams to me that he strayed,
But the heart cries out that he's all okay,
Did he cheat? Deep down, I know he's a liar,
And I know he smokes, but is he the fire?
Instagram DMs, I knew you were texting her,
All those pictures I know you were sending her,
I turned a blind eye, I didn't want this to die,
But now I roll over in its grave because you never tried.
Should never have given you that third chance,
Took me a while to say it out loud,
But if this what counts as romance,
Spare a little mercy and count me out.
