Once Mine, Now Hers

I see you with her posted on the wall-

the wall that once was ours.

I wonder-what do you talk about when you call?

and how long do you talk?

I see her whisper in your ear-

the ear that once was mine.

I wonder if you miss being over here,

cuz God knows I lied when I said it was fine.

Do you tell her that you love her and explain how much you care?

I need to stop imagining-the pain's too hard to bare.

But everytime I close my eyes I see her smilling with satisfaction at the fact that she's got my man-

I try to calm myself by pretending I did more for you than she ever can,

And you tell me you still care and that you'll always love me more,

But if that was really true, then why did you walk out the door?

Was it something that I did,

Too many secrets that I hid?

Was it in my smile or was it in my tears,

Maybe it was a mistake to tell you all my fears...

You made me forget about my plan to leave all guys alone,

You made me forget that I never talk for hours on the phone,

You shook my ground, you took my hand,

You opened my eyes to understand,

You took away my innocence, you gave me a smile-then took it away,

I guess it was my fault I got attached, and now I have to pay,

You said that you'd come back, you said I had to wait,

But I know I deserve more than this,

Though you're the one I'll always miss,

Baby, I miss your touch,

maybe just a little too much,

But I can't wait all day, and I refuse to cry,

So when you come back, you'll find a note that simply says...

"Good-bye."1
