You’ve told me you loved me a thousand times…
I smiled and laughed a million times…
You cheated on me a hundred times easy
I counted on my hands the times I was sleazy…
I broke my back for you a billion times
and you never stayed in between the lines
I shouldn’t expect any less from you
but in the back of my mind, I do.
I keep score when you go out looking for more
I take mental notes about every time you walked out that door
I’ve built a shine to encompass all that was once you
I’ve built a lifetime of memories that probably aren’t true
You’ve kept on your steady path, I left you on so long ago
Did it really have to be this way? I guess we’ll never know…
