I wasn't supposed to see you that night.

I'd always told myself I was too good for you,

Teenage ego told me that was true

But it was amazing to see what the years had done to you.

Beautiful eyes, crooked tooth

I hopped in your car and the vibe was effortless

A calming feel, filled with bliss

In my cold, empty driveway we shared our first kiss

I had never felt a kiss like this

Soft, genuine, it filled my insides

With butterflies

Your hand went between my thighs

I'm sure you felt them in me, too

I think you were amazed at what you could do

A cold demeanor toward you I'd always held

But that night all the walls fell.


I wasn't supposed to miss you

The next day when I woke up

I replayed those moments

As I filled my coffee cup

You asked me if you made me happy,

I told you yes. I lied.

Even you weren't enough to fill

The emptiness I felt inside

You tried to shed your light

I remained in my shadowed state

I'll never forget that look on your face

The night in your car when I wouldn't reciprocate

I was cold as that December night

But something in you continued to fight

For a girl who gave you no insight

For a girl who chose flight


I wasn't supposed to call you

A month later out of the blue

You weren't the first guy I'd done that to

But something was different

I couldn't dismiss it

I came in timid

You came out livid

You asked what I want out of this

All I could say was, "You."


You weren't supposed to take me back

I see that now at 9:22

When you're ignoring my passion

And I can't get through

I'm open with my affection

Craving your attention

These days I'm so transparent with you

I think you think

This is what I deserve

I think I think

This is what I deserve

My regret eternally burns

You throw me through curves

Lately I'm barely worth your words


Now, I don't know what we're supposed to do ...
