Long Distance

You’ll never know what you’ve done

To the inside of me

I’ll never let you know

I would never have the opportunity

Threw out your number

Won’t look at the phone bill

Been tryin to forget your face

But the damn picture just won’t erase

Had second thoughts about you in the beginning

You weren’t my type

You weren’t close by

You

Just

Weren’t

The

One

Time goes on and we just connect

Friends and phone sex lovers

You kept my thoughts high when I was too low

To think

Your letters kept me alive

Your promises kept me hopeful

Happy

But as time passed

Your promises became weak

My promises became loose

We just couldn’t promise or

Compromise

The distance

The stipulations

The time

Just

Wasn’t

Right

I forgot about you

Could care less

Then here you come again

Demanding the attention

That you deserve

So I

I gave it to you you you

Your façade went away and there you really were

Evil, demanding, strict, liar, asssssss hooollllle

Bastard

You lied to get me where you had me

And now you had me

I was pinned to the disbelief

Crying over nothing standing in front of me

When would you be here?

When you could

What was I doing?

When was I gonna be good enough for you?

Probably

Never

Probably

So I stepped back

Stood on the egg shells that I walked on

With heavy feet

Ow-my my

And I couldn’t shake the thought

Of your face that I had never seen

Tried to lift weights to gain the strength

To forget

And then your kind words flooded my ear

Like before

Anchored me down

Like before

Had me naming our imaginary kid ugly names

Just to have you back

Uh

You got me twisted if you think

That I

I

Will sit here and let you down talk me

Abuse me with your tongue lashes

Who

Are

You

Talk away from me

Don’t turn back

Walk your bullshit quietly

Out

My

Phone

My bill’s too expensive anyway
