i got a note in my locker,
from my ex
he's obsessed with me,
but not in the way i want
he thinks that i'm still his,
but i've found someone new
he kept trying to talk to me
but i've made my point clear
i've moved on
and i'm not thinking of him at all

i'm not her
i'm not good
i'm not perfect
i'm not his
i'm not a good person
i'm not happy
i'm not stable
i'm not anything

she’d burn to keep others warm
a heat so extreme it made her feel cold

she wasted her gasoline
on relationships that could never be
hoping
wondering
“when will someone strike a match for me?”
Babe
I only bring you pain—
this back and forth,
this endless yes or no.

It will never lead us
to the altar.

This is our game,
remember?
