What has happened to us? I have no way to know which picture of me matches who I wish I was. But I miss who I was, even if it was not who I could have been Because I know I’ve become just one more myth of progress As I’ve forgotten who you are, and we’ve forgotten what we were If only I’d answered your last call And had listened to your words of advice. But I’ve taken two paths at once, Hoping to love you while I spend a few nights with my favorite whore I know what we could have been Or at least I can imagine As I wonder if you’ll ever take me back Or perhaps I’m too far gone I never became the man you expected me to be So if you find another, I’ll understand But let me remember you, please… I don’t ever want to forget how your kisses taste Or how your comforting hand feels, felt? I don’t know if I could go back to you, even if you would have me I’ve left it all behind, but I still want to hang on to our affair I still love you, and I pray you still feel for me. But our friends still think we belong together As far as they know, we still are… But we both know that’s a lie I’ve slept with one too many To think you would meet me at the end of the aisle But what about our friends? What happens when you take those who are double faced… at face value? Do they matter half as much? But they are my only connection to you Their memory is what unites us, It is the one thing we both know was so beautiful But I’ve forgotten their names They’ve forgotten mine And regardless of all the miles tread together, We’ve drifted a thousand more apart. Or at least half of me has, I can still smell their drunken breath But I cannot point fingers while I smell of smoke And five different perfumes There is static between us, and I need to go, Call me if you ever come around this contemptible ghost town. Amen. P.S. God, if you can, change my heart, one more time. I miss us. |
