you're just like everybody else
and you know it

and it's okay
you showed it

i should've known it
you use and you take

you have no home
so a home you make

in other people
won't find you resting in my bed after midnight

i refuse to be misused though you already tried
it's alright
i didn't cry

you don't mean that much to me
but if i
really wanted to love you
i could have

but i chose you
don't you get that?

i chose you
and now

i regret that
wages money, time, and feelings i convinced myself into feeling back

i now realize
i don't have to do that

i don't have to like you just because you admit you like me

i don't have to buy you flowers, gifts, and spill everything

i don't have to share my life with you
because you don't know what to do with that information

and that's fine
we're just friends who like each other

you're just a friend that likes me

because i take back my emotions
i don't want to bleed

i take back my feelings
all of my little ticking things

i take back my time
and i focus on me

i didn't expect for you to be a joke
but you go down so comically

i wish i could've made this up
but this is common for me

just don't waste your breath
i already know what you mean

unfortunately for you
you are
just like every body else
though, i dreamt you up in my head a lot differently
