somehow i always put myself in these situations
it's like i know how it'll end but i can't help but give into the temptations
i've been hurt before
it's not anything new
this time is different though because there's nobody to answer for
all the pain that's found its way inside without cue
i didn't think she'd be like the rest of them
she was something new
different
exciting
all the sudden i found myself writing
i hadn't done shit like that in a long time
spittin' out rhyme after rhyme
it was insane
she made me feel so good i couldn't even complain
i thought she felt the same
i didn't think she'd have me playing her game
after a while
we decided it was for the best
everything went quiet
it was hard when all the assumptions were "you just wanted her undressed"
people were just asking for me to get violent
time went on though
eventually things got better when i started to let go
just my luck that she'd decide to change her mind as soon as the door was locked
i didn't think she'd convince me till that knock
it was quick
spur of the moment
completely unplanned
but holy shit was her wish my command
i would've given anything for more time
the drive seemed to go too quickly
and there she was
just standing in the road
my headlights shining brightly on her figure
i couldn't believe i was actually seeing her again
my hands were sweating
the nicotine making a home in my lungs
my stomach twisting into knots that only she could undo
everything disappeared as soon as she spoke
it was like the world was at peace as we slipped into casual conversation
there was no uncomfortable air between us
our arms bumped against each other as we trekked to the house
i would have never guessed how bad things would turn out
her words were like bitter honey
i wanted to believe them so badly
and i did believe them somewhere inside of me
but deep down there was the doubt that has always been rooted inside of me
i ignored it
it was so easy to ignore
but with each second i spent with her it was harder and harder to ignore the fact
that i was beginning to fall in love
i had to bite my tongue too many times to count
all the times that "i love you" could have slipped out is unimaginable
i still shake my head at how utterly stupid i was
we had one night.
one single night together that seemed like heaven to me
and i guess was hell to her when she woke up in the morning
i left with a smile on my face
hers mirroring mine
i should have known when i didn't see her in the rearview mirror that
it wasn't going to be the same
radio silence came after.
it hurt
but what's new
it still hurts
but that's just the way life goes
i hope she knows how wrong she did me
how bad she screwed me over
she doesn't care, and i know she doesn't
but i hope she at least thought about it
but maybe she didn't
and i never meant as much to her as i thought i did
