Drag me across the street [baby] && throw me into your car
We'll go a.h.e.a.d & have the same-old fucking talk
Look me in the {eyes} for once
It's not a conversation +between+ our -converse-
Now I r e m e m b e r why you can't stand to look me in the eyes
You see the [LOVE] but you, me and she...well that makes three
&& Baby, three doesn't work out very well in my p-l-a-n-s
If I told you how COMPLETELY & UTTERLY I was torn apart by this
That in fact, it was KILLING me, would you do a damn thing?
Or would you sit there, [starring] at me (or rather through me) just waiting for the punch line?
The w a i t i n g for long nights and d r a w n out phone calls
They always, {{always}} lead us back to where we started.
I [love] you. You [love] me. She [loves] you.
&& You just can't stand to b--r--e--a--k her little heart.
So you s/h/a/t/t/e/r mine.

I love that bit, it's so raw. That's awful if it's based on what you've gone through, if not it's just awful full stop. You gave him love and he can't bare to break her heart, so he's fine with breaking yours instead. Awful, very sad. Loved the write though it was so raw and truthful, relatable too. Keep it up! ♥ -

sad part is....he'll keep doing it.
