Pact

You never listen to a word I say
You never touch me, only push me away
Another meeting ran on late
When you get home, the kids are crying

I never touched him, but yes we spoke
Our tongues curled heavy around the coffee and smoke
I guess he's laughing at my jokes
A little more than you do lately

Now it's all over the news

This is the way we love
Like it's not good enough

Stop making fires
Stop making fun out of me
It was never the music, baby
It was you who led me to drugs

If I'm a selfish lover once
Then I'm a selfless liar twice
Because I have tried
And I know neither was enough.

When I met you
I first broke that old pact with myself
To never love anyone else
Except for me
But now I see you're not unique
Because I'd break it again
When she looks at me

When I met her
I first broke that old pact that we share
To never let anyone else
Compare
But now I see you're not unique
I don't know where I'll be.

And they say
Everything has gone to waste
Everything we cherish fades
Gone away
And they say
Everything we had in this space
Everything we can't replace
Gone away
