perfidy

You're on the other end, rehearsing all your lines
Got the upper hand but guilty by design
Emotional high ground is not what it seems
I thought that by now you'd lie through your teeth
Girl, I wasn't blind
I saw it coming, I just couldn't tell what time
I'm unresponsive to your love on me
I thought that by now you'd know how to leave

So to speak
All of me
Was all of you
Couldn't breathe
In between
Solitude
(So to speak, all of me was all of you)

Give me some insight
Tell me what I did so wrong
Missing the thin line
That you're so certain I crossed
Hanging
Suspended in time
Questioning
What if I

What if I lose you?
Do I get that piece of myself back?
How would I know that?
It wasn't like
You were here to walk me through it
I had to learn how to love for the first time
Break it off when it worked fine

(So to speak, all of me was all of you)
(So to speak, all of me was all of you)

It doesn't matter if we pick up where we left off
Actions speak louder than words, don't you know this?
It wasn't necessary the way you compared me
To everyone else, you know I can't control it

So to speak
All of me
Was all of you
Couldn't breathe
In between
Solitude

What if I lose you?
Do I get that piece of myself back?
How would I know that?
It wasn't like
You were here to walk me through it
I had to learn how to love for the first time
Break it off when it worked fine

When it worked fine
I had to learn how to love for the first time
What if I

(So to speak, all of me was all of you)
(So to speak, all of me was all of you)

What if I lose you?
Do I get that piece of myself back?
How would I know that?
It wasn't like
You were here to walk me through it
I had to learn how to love for the first time
Break it off when it worked fine
