At the futile efforts I made to rekindle our dying flame
We were not really committed anyway, were we?

feigning amnesia on the dates you routinely cancelled
And the texts you routinely forgot to answer
We were never more than 'jus talking', were we?

This is how it ends
With me refusing to cry over the promises left unfulfilled
And the climaxes yet unreached
You didn't just rip my heart apart anyway, did you?
Because we were never really a 'we', were we?
