~Somebody Else

Now the hardest truth I need to convince myselfNot in the slightest way you caredBeside the unconscious broken child you carryAll of it was nothing to you

So I know I told all those stuffProtecting myself knowing the worst was on its wayThe only regret I have isLaughing the façade away

That night Neither felt genuineNeither felt usAnd you made me want to skip the commodities

I regret showing up that nightThanking the crowd that has congested my wayI wish I had sprained an ankle and never made it thereNow I realise finally, with my eyes canever as wideYou never caredAnd in the end somebody else, from you, have savedAnd taught me I should never picture myself with you but Somebody Else
