Dissolving Substance

You just reminded me of my favorite word: Regret
Close your eyes, and count to ten

And don't forget to remember
That I'm the one who hurt you
Write me into your life
Give me a leading role

Memorize this impending make-up
The one when you realize that I broke in the first place

And you still expected me
To clean up the fragments of you

Stop and starе straight ahead
I'm not the one you think I am
I am thе one you knew
It's not about the stinging pang of pride
It's about you and me, and him in between
Can you stand much more of this?
Staring straight through me
At every awkward opportunity
And it's almost over now
I've almost forgotten you

You said you'd never leave me, but you did
You did

And so it comes to this
Another purposeful forget-me-not
And you're the one who promised
You'd never leave
