iv.

I tripped for her
I never understood why, though
When she looked at me through those eyes
Telling me daily, those pretty lies
My heart always stuttered
My words constantly stumbled over each other
She never noticed
And she never would.

I didn’t fall for her, no
What gave you that idea?
If I did, I would have minded
All those times I got neglected
And I would’ve never been sated
By the illusions we created.

Who said I fell for her?
If I did, I wouldn’t have let her go so easily
Taken by another right before me
I didn’t falter, not for a second
When she told me how happy she was with another

Even if I did fall in love with her
I wouldn’t be so scared
Because love conquers all, right?
But then I wouldn’t be able to explain why
I locked myself up all those nights
Holding back on those tears that threatened to fall
Gripping that lie so tight

Maybe I did fall for her, somehow
But I couldn’t bring myself to care more
As she already had someone to care for
And I know now that that someone
Will never be me.
