except you.

haven’t seen you in quite a while
i was down the hold, just passing time
last time we met it was a low-lit room
we were as close together as a bride and groom
we ate the food, we drank the wine
everybody having a good time
except you
you were talking about the end of the world

i took the money, i spiked your drink
you miss too much these days if you stop to think
you lead me on with those innocent eyes
you know i love the element of surprise
in the garden i was playing the tart
i kissed your lips and broke your heart
you, you were acting like it was the end of the world

in my dream i was drowning my sorrows
but my sorrows they learned to swim
surrounding me, going down on me
spilling over the brim
waves of regret, waves of joy
i reached out for the one i tried to destroy
you, you said you’d wait until the end of the world.
