A Change

Do you think of me when you see the clothes in your room?
That I left there
Do you even care?
No, you've probably burned them by now, haven't you?
It's what I would do
Is there even an ounce of regret in your hair?
The tiniest thought that maybe we could pair?
If something had changed
That we weren't beyond fixing
And I don't write love songs
That's not why people cheer for me
And I don't write sad songs
And I'm not one for lyric mastery
But you've changed a lot about me
You've changed a lot about me
You've changed a lot about me
You've changed a lot about me
I'm always having second thoughts
Yeah, I've never had that before
It's always been so smooth sailing
In how I feel for myself
But you brought so much of me to the floor
I keep trying to figure out what for
Did it trouble you that I was failing to consider other people?
What did I do?
Why must I burn?
I did as I said
I took all my turns
I followed my parents, and I made them proud
Why the fuck is it worth it without you around?
Did you love me? My dear, did you love me?
Do you love me still?
Does he ever touch you like I never will?
Do you love me?
Will it go away?
When I see you hold them my vision turns grey
As I see that familiar shade
Of red on your cheeks
That way
You used to look at me
