Tease


Try and tell me you didn’t have feelings for me 

Try and tell me you didn’t know how I felt 

Try. 

 

Even though I knew I wasn’t enough, I persisted 

Even though I knew it wouldn’t work, I persisted 

Even. 

 

And everyone saw what you were doing to me

And only I was willing to risk it all for you

And.

 

So try to make me jealous, it won’t work

So try to not be such a tease, it won’t work

So.

 

Even though you wanted me, I’m not yours

Even though I wanted you, I don’t anymore 

We’re Even now.
