I do not like wasting my time,
but once again, I’ve come to find
I’m committing to a pseudo-chance
built upon a passing glance.
From a stranger I assumed would be
a little more than what he seemed.
His smile was so very sweet,
the only mem’ry I wish to keep
And value... for the words he said
were just the same as all heartbreak
I’d suffered,
why, oh why,
Had I ever wanted to play for keeps?
~
It never was worth it to try again;
I learned quickly into the pain.
Just because I felt invincible
doesn’t mean I ever was.
I absorbed the strength I thought you had,
Little I knew, you were just as bad
As me, and we fell like dominos
into the flames I’ve come to love.
