For my ex boyfriend
Try to pretend
I'm not hurt
Once again pushed aside
For your work far more important
I take second place
Gotta just a little too used to that lately
Started to feel like
I really should speak up
Headed for a second and final break-up
Cause I just can't be
With a man
Who won't let be a part of him
All work and no play
Slowly its poison is killing us
Robbing us of that second chance
I realize now
I never should have given you
For it's plain to see
What it is
You value more
Just hope that in the lonely years to come
You won't come to regret
The mountains of paperwork
You chose over me
To keep you warm at night
Used only when you need me
Only when you're willing
To fit in that smallest crumb of time
I won't be used again
The game was fun
For a while
But now it's over
On your own
Forever
You would have left us like this
Hangin' in limbo
Not anymore
No matter how much it hurts
No matter how many shattered tears
I know I'm gonna cry
I have to do
What I know in my heart is for the best
You've left me no choice
You don't believe in love, C
And neither do I
At least not between us
Not anymore
