Do you really though?


We've been through a lot in this past year,

our love had much to show.

You like him now but you still love me.

Do you really though?

I get it, you were only here for a year,

long distance was what we feared.

I had told you Germany was where I was headed

because I loved you so.

You kept that expectation of me,

and honestly, I did too.

But to move halfway across the world,

the love had to be true.

Now that you've found him,

I've been put on hold.

Is that what lovers do?

You still tell me those words

when I ask why

"Well, because I love you."

If this is your show,

I should've known.

"But do you really though?"
