I don’t know why I ever thought you would.
Constantly doubting but in turn,
trying so hard to believe what you say.
Taking everything at face value is proving difficult...to say the least.
Cheaters never change, but I’m wishing you have.
There’s so much I don’t say anymore.
You wonder why I’m constantly checking over your shoulder.
If you fuck up again, I’m gone. That’s why.
I don’t know if I can take breaking up again..
Bottom-line, there’s no trust.
I have no idea how to trust you.
It’s uncomfortable, every moment & you don’t even realize.
It feels like I’m waiting for you to flip.
Who knows what you could want?
Frankly, in the end, I don’t think it’ll be me..
I never wanted this.
Do you honestly expect me to believe we could ever be the same?
You say the past is the past, but I’m not over it.
Our present situation is the same as it was four months ago.
Nothing’s been resolved.
I don’t even know if we can be fixed…
