Soon you will be leaving your man
He always gets so mad things you laugh at.
"Don't get so worked up." you'd say.
but on the back deck you admit that you haven't felt much
like laughing lately anyway.
And so I say "that could change."
I noticed how you waste no time making your way
across the room. You leave a wake of tongues
still waving after you. And it isn't no coincidence
where you finally choose to stand. I guess soon
you will be leaving your man.
It's a sweet smile and then a denial. Hey, you
are just trying to be nice. But there is a meaning
to every fleeting action you unconsciously
decide. And the clocks they chime. Now it's time.
I know you try to play it cool but there are
some thoughts you just can't hide. Only in your
closest friends would you confide. The way you say
you'll be seeing me, oh like it's so offhand. I
guess soon you will be leaving your man.
You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack
of confidence. It's just those lessons on sublety
you missed. I know you dream of saving me
like I'm some plane that you could land. But
when you fly you'll be leaving your man.
I'm starting to understand.
My kitten is sitting next to me sleeping and she is so calm and patient and I am so jealous. My baby kicks 24/7. I'm sure I'm supposed to be so happy but that's not how this has panned out. I am happy about things, it's just getting rid of other things that's starting to get to me. My life isn't over.
I told you I'd be done if that happened and it's not my fault you didn't believe me. Have your fun now, you rely on me so much. Soon, you will be fucked. Soon, you won't be my responsibilty. I'm losing my compassion and you can tell. I'm sorry. I'm upset but I gave up this time. There's more important things going on.
