You get to continue living
and I'm struggling to survive
think of who you've been kissing
I'm tryna stay alive
you broke my heart, you
know that?
it wasn't even yours to break
funny how I feel this way,
we didn't even yet date.
Now I'm the wingman
while you try bag my friend
I almost wanna hop afront a van
and wait for a sweet, quick end.

I'm considering
getting her before you do
wag her in your face
like the dogs do,

but I'm also lying to myself
saying I never felt anything
that I'm just sad for our friendship
but it wouldn't hurt the way it does
when you look at her
how I wish you'd look at me

But you can't feel what's not there
and can't ignore what is

You broke my heart,
and I'll let you do it again
if I can be the spotlight on your stage,
be your princess again
were not on the same page,
if you call me a fool
I want me on your mind
while you use that pen
and write me a ballard

I miss how you awed at my
bare skin
and called it perfection
you lifted me up, only
to leave me hanging
and let me down,
you had me feeling, hot
and bothered,
then flipped a switch
and now I'm shocked.

All you did was talk,
how you'd never wanna lose
me but you'd give me up
to trade for a higher
bid coin
All bark and no bite
and a pretty-looking
groin

I was sure you were
the diamond in the trough
known as my life
but if anything you're
fine carbon
and I'm a shrine

I'll just learn how to walk
again if not for you
breathe again
not because of flu
walk without searching for your
eyes in a room
I'll just learn to be someone else's
princess, even if
not my own
light up someone else's theatre
to reveal a home

Or I'll just be happy all alone,
but I just need you
out of here
because I don't know
where to put you but let you in
and I can't do that
because I'll start to feel
and you'll lie
and I'll cry
you'll live
and I'll die.

So atta boy, go get her
I'll go get mine
bottom line is
I don't care who you find,
how long it takes
we're on the same planet
but two parallel worlds,
couple years, couple days
for now
we each go separate ways
