Lies

I’m still breathing 

I guess I’m still alive

My heart has bled out, 

but fuck it, 

you’re not worth the blood i’ve lost

 

I’m doing fine. 

Truth is I never needed you at all, 

you were something fun for a moment. 

I lied the first time I said I loved you, 

I thought you needed to hear it, 

you needed to hear someone 

say something as crazy as you. 

 

But that’s alright, 

karma came for me, 

towards the end, 

I know you didn’t love me. 

you thought I still needed to hear it 

you thought I needed it to be true. 

I didn’t 

and I don’t. 

You were fun for a moment 

the moment is over.
