If I left yesterday
Would you miss me
Today
And forget me tomorrow?

If I started running
Would you chase me
Bring me back
To the lie of your arms

Do you want me
As bad as I want you
Is it a one-sided
Affair

Do you long to talk
To me
Or am I just wishing
For a fantasy

Is it all a lie
Fake
A charade
Or am I just paranoid

Where do we go from here
You reassure me
I believe it
Keep going

You fess up
Call it off
I fall apart
You move along

I'm left in the wake
Heartbreak
Can't heal the ache
For my own sake

Save me the pain
End it now
Don't drag me along
Make it worse

I'm left swirling
In a cloud
Emotions
What's real, what's not

Can't figure it out
Don't know what to do
Won't accept a lie
So give me truth

If I left yesterday
Would you miss me
Today
And forget me tomorrow?
