She Says

Pretend that nothing happens is
like pretending I’m a special one
and that’s a lie, that’s for sure.
Darling, please understand,
I’m still your man but the truth is …
I miss your eyes,
I miss your elbows,
I miss your hair,
since I don’t love you anymore …
anymore …
She says it’s o.k.
So far I’ve been doing just fine
but now we need to talk.
You know it’s hard, it’s hard for me
to cross that river.
Please understand, babe, don’t want to hurt you.
I miss your eyes,
I miss your elbows,
I miss your hair,
since I don’t love you anymore …
anymore …
She says it’s o.k.
She says, as she looks at her nails,
you’re so plain and you’ve always been.
She says, she says, she says …
