And we're trading secrets in bedroom walls that are tainted
with your love for another.
you're whispering sweet words and i'm listening
with a smile on my face and wishing they were true.
but i know you say them to her and that's when you mean them
not when i'm sitting on your bed
with these mere centimeters seperating me from
the one boy i have always wanted but could never have.
there used to be a fire inside for you but
now the ashes just glow, and you know it
and you're trying to rekindle what you lost with all your lies.
and i'm starting to believe them
and i'm starting to fall again
and i'm starting to wonder why you have this power over me.
and she's calling your phone
and she's hearing "i love you" on her end
while your eyes are rolling on mine
and i'm laughing
hoping she can hear me in the background.
i'm sitting on your bed
and i'm in your room like i've been a million times before
and she's not here
and we're alone
and we aren't touching
and you're still lying.
and i'm still believing you and still waiting for the day
when you'll come and be with me, your other half.
your perfect girl. your best friend.
your fool.
then you're hanging up the phone
and telling me you need me
and i'm holding on for dear life because honey
if i fall i know you won't catch me.
the words leaving your mouth are telling me
that i'm perfect for you and that you wish you were with me
and my mind is screaming out the obvious truth
that if you wanted to be with me you would.
but my heart is reminding me of those ashes
and i'm not smiling anymore
because you don't mean it
but you should.
and while we're trading secrets in your bedroom
i'm feeling guilty and used.
and i will not cross those centimeters between us
and neither will you and i will wait for you forever
because those damn ashes just won't lose their glow
and i'm just dying to taint these walls with you.
