A Lifetime Together




we were supposed to spend a lifetime together
that's what we talked about
we were supposed to be happy together

you mentioned a place, i said
i wanted to go there for my honeymoon
and you agreed

i can think about all the things you said to me
and i can think about all the lies you told me
they're all beginning to run into one another, you know

i can think about how we would act like a couple
when we were playing pool at the local bar
i think of how we didn't look like tourists

when in a way we were

you got me next to nothing for my birthday that year
well i was there, you had to get me something, you thought

i can think about the flowers you were supposed to get me
how it would have been good to be able to tell my friends
that i'm seeing someone
so they wouldn't think i'd be alone all my life

i can think about how you would shower me with attention
or how you'd tell people about me
she's a great girl, you'd say

i'm sure that's what you'd say

i wanted to feel your hand touch my face
i wanted to get a sign from you

any sign

so have a happy life, i think
when i think of all the people
who said they cared but didn't

I thought when someone said they cared
they meant it
and feelings like that
aren't supposed to change at the drop of a hat

when does it occur to the average man
that there is in fact no feeling there
that maybe there never WAS

maybe you just think
I'm going to have to end this
maybe she won't get hurt

Well, in case no one ever told you
women do get hurt

even the strong ones

it's really easy for me to say
that I didn't care about you
that I knew all along that you lied to me

so whether or not I feel that way
is irrelevant right now
because I'm supposed to be over you
because I'm supposed to not care

even the strong one
