When your lips met mine
I felt like you were a brand new face
That lingered inside
My short term memory.
I do recall our friendship
five seconds ago
Which was filled with endless jokes
But now what is there to sow?
Your voice was like the sand
That caressed the bottom of my feet
Next to the beach I cried on
Over the heart you had beat.
It was an error sound;
The breath you took
After calmly ditching
My breathless look
You had me right in your grasp
and wrapped within your bed
And of course I said yes
But because you were already in my head...
With your small lies
That formed a big mountain
That I was trapped in
But suddenly rid like a fountain
You don't know
What you put me through
So why even bother
To move on to someone new?
To put them through
The same damn shit
That put my life on hold
And my heart in a ditch.
However I can't stay mad
At the one I just knew
The one who didn't know my lips
The one who was a different you.
It was only five seconds ago
That I should've known
The foretold story
Of the 'stranger's' goal.
Now I'm heavy with a burden
Of a mistake that'll never pass
And something I can't forget
Of something that should have last.
