Don't Come Back


Please come back

I miss you

You cared for me

You knew what to say when the times were tough

oh wait never mind

 

You never touched

You never loved

You never saw the things you saw

All the lies you told, you were laughing and winning them all

 

All these Fantasies

they were make believe

I thought they were real, so kind and sweet

But they were just so many lies

I wanted to cry, but it was just not right

 

You never had a heart

You never had eyes

You never had lips, but they were  just so kind.

You never had hands, but they were just so soft

You were just so fake that I never knew of

 

You held me close then let me go

You told me you would be back at 4 o'clock

I'm watching the ticking, and it's going fast

It's time for you to come back, but you never did

 

Keep your promises to yourself

You never keep them

You never did

Just turn away

Start walking
