lied to
for eight months
we called every day
for an hour
maybe two
and i fell for you
and i thought you fell for me

but you were lying
a skillful actor
with bronze skin
that i used to yearn

you moved on
as if i was an item
sitting in a window
that you didn't want

and now you're sorry
you didn't know how to say no
to me
that's no excuse  
for blood and tears
