Cowards Die Many Times Before Their Death [CinqTroisDecaLa]

At the first sign of confrontation, you turned and walked away,
Said you`d catch up with me, but never gave me the time of day.
I watched your feet scurry past, as I counted my horrid heartbeats,
Counting how many it would take until you landed in her sheets.
She`s on your mind when you`re here wrapping your arms around me,
And I know you`re hoping I catch on so I`ll let you free,
But in the back of my mind, I still wish we were meant to be.
You`re becoming just another face with nothing left to say --
A liar who spun a pre-planned web of stories to hide his deceit,
And slowly fell out of my reach, becoming just a memory.
