You couldn’t keep your eyes on me
What was it that changed your mind?
Was it my Mona Lisa smile that didn’t quite cover my sad eyes?
Was it my mixed accent that hinted I’ve run from someplace
more than once?
Or was it my need that shone across my face?
You say you got in too deep, it wasn’t supposed to go this
far
Well, what did you expect when you looked at me like that?
When you called me all hours of the night, every night,
Saying I was the only one you could tell?
When we got so comfortable, we could read each other like a
book with just one glance?
I don’t need you to make up for their mistakes
I needed you to catch me when you made me fall for you
I’m not just my past
And I thought you were my future
But I thought wrong, and now I’m alone again
Even your rejection was perfect
I didn’t know a heart shattering could sound so sweet
Just because the shot came from your lovely lips
The lips I wanted to claim as mine and only mine
The eyes I wanted to stare into forever
The body I wanted to explore like my favorite book
Over and over again, every night, all night long
I couldn’t find anything wrong with any part of you
I guess that should have been my first clue
Someone as damaged as me could never satisfy a being so
wonderful
You had the love to fix all my cracks and broken pieces
You just wanted to give it to someone else
You’ll always be my favorite mistake
And I’ll always be your favorite little charity case
