I'm in love with you
And I'm hiding it.
I've never hidden something from you before,
And I'm surprised my lies aren't paper thin

But you're not looking too close anyway
What,
With your pretty girl and her sashay
Hanging off your arm-- the true definition of a sl*t.

And me,
Standing in the background,
Just like always, just another face in the sea.
I'll be there deciphering the pained sounds,
when she breaks your heart
Again.

I'll be here when you get bored
And I'll stick around when you're bummed.
But I can't keep hiding.

I'm too tired.
