I know I said I'm over you,
But that's not what I meant,
This is what I said:

I don't care,

Do what you want,

I'm over you,

And I have him now.
This is what I meant:

I don't care,


What you do to me.

Do what you want,


Just don't torture me.

I'm over you,


Or at least I should be.

I have him now,


But I still need you.
Try to read between the lines
Next time.
Look into my eyes
And read what's really there.
Like you used to.
Just read between the lines.
