Lyrics
Sometimes you have to lie in the bed you made
Keep your head up in spite of all the games you've played
I am living proof that we keep on living
Even if it's really ourselves that we're not forgiving
Just when I think it's far enough back to forget
I get this wave of emotion in between shame and regret
Just to make sure it's always you that I'll be missing
I will turn my head with eyes wide open
And watch the two of you kissing
I will hold my breath to keep from being noticed
In my tiny corner with self-destructive focus
Maybe someday I'll move on from where I'm standing
To a place where I'll be so much less reprimanding
I believe that it's over, I don't want you to know where I am
I believe you deserve love, I don't want you to know who I am
I will make it up to you in my own way
Thinking I'll be happier on some other day
But I'm perfectly happy making piece through this
As you sweetly invite from her another kiss
