Rebound
i look over from a far
my heart beats heavy
my eyes burning
out of rage
and from the tears i am trying to contain
i listen to you call her name
it still echoes in my head
"Kaysie, Kaysie"
her eyes look past you
i can almost see your heart as it breaks
shattering to dust
anger, rejection painted on your face
you turn your head
seeing me you wipe your tears
pretending she didn't happen
you read me the speech
the one you've saved for a time like this
where you'd make sure to have a rebound
i guess that's me
I'm just a back up
you wouldn't cry over me
you don't love me
if i ended us
you would go on to the next girl
like i was never even here
I'm done with the pain
I'm done with your lies
I'm done with us
