We started out with lies.
What else can you expect?
I knew we would go nowhere
when we very first met.
I told myself you'd mean nothing
because that's obviously what I was to you.
I didn't know how very well I'd follow through.
I'm actually very proud of myself.
I didn't let your lies get to me.
I didn't believe.
Now you're gone, you ran away.
I bet you feel relieved.
You played your game,
I played mine.
We both had our fun.
At least it wasn't a waste of our time.
You're conscience wouldn't have been heavy,
even if you had stayed.
To you, I'm just the one who got away,
the little girl who didn't fall.
I knew I would never be anything more.
That's why I can tell you it didn't mean anything at all.
Your leaving didn't matter.
We didn't need proper goodbyes.
That would mean that what we had had meant something.
And we both know that would be a lie.
