He's got it where he wants it all
he's got it all
he's got it all
and I'm not his so he don't need
to answer to a woman anymore
but he drinks with his friends in a basement
and I guess that's a satisfactory replacement
but I thought I meant something more
He doesn't miss me
he misses the situation
and he won't kiss me cuz he says "he'd want more"
I won't kiss him because I don't love him like I did before
but I'm drunk again and bored..
I'm slowly working out a systematic course of avoidance
that doesn't leave me to balance in high heels on a fence post
and his linear thoughts keep leading him blind, in accordance
with the cold place in his chest, away from my ghost
and I'm not angry like I was and this is a butter knife not a switch blade
and it doesn't cut like your jealousy does and won't do as much harm
as accusing me everyday
it's quickly turning out to be a superfluous task to ask
for thirteen hours of grinding teeth to give homage to the past, at last
or nine hours of drug induced sleep to make the present past fast
or ten minutes with his dick in the sheets believing his sex is the ultimate gas
instead I got a couple of weeks
wishing I had lived it all
looking into a crystal ball and gaining some emotional foresight
to cushion the fall
black and white reflected from the prism
his mind is his own prison
but even still I was happy with him
yah looking back I guess I was happy with him...
