Emotional Bachelor

I remember you lying there

Right through your teeth

Always pretended I didn't care

Which was too easy

Caught in the fading light

Of the TV flickering

Right then I made a decision

One which I would not keep

To only be with somebody else

For whom I feel something

Just give me the benefit of my doubts

Don’t hold them against me

Heavy as they are

They still feel lighter than honesty

Last week on commonwealth

I saw you walking by

But it was someone else

I still waved and smiled

And so I think of a way

To get back in touch

But it's 3am

I asked if you want to get lunch

I'm tired of waking up in debt

To the night before

Just wondering how broke I can feel

Till I’m emotionally poor

Like when you did not get an invite

To a party you would've skipped

I saw you with your boyfriend

The night after we kissed

And then in Harvard Square

I saw you walking by

But I was unprepared

And barely recognized

I couldn't help but stare

Something did not feel right

Realized we'd never seen

Each other in daylight

So then you thought of a way

To get back in touch

Now it's 3am

And I'm half past drunk
