I never promised sanctuary
I never said you could stay either
I never asked for sun or rain
No I never asked for neither
I let you get on with it
And did my best to return that favour
I never threatened enemies
Or asked for saviour
Was happy with the lacklustre
And satisfied come the flavour
I didn’t bother you when you did fuck all
Or force you into labour
I never congratulated success
Or called you out when you become traitor
I was so uncolourful
I was like white pen on paper
Still I’ve managed to break your heart
And tear it into jagged squares
I tried to tick the boxes
And avoid the things you couldn’t bare
I smiled when I met you
And didn’t fidget when you’d stare
I wiped tears and took on shoulders
And when you hurt then I would take care
I fawned over warmth
But my nature’s to be icy
And when you told me I’m falling in love
I thought I might be
But the girl you labelled that
Wasn’t the right me
Then I realise you’d projected that
When I rejected you politely
You couldn’t handle my quick dismissal
Took the cold to your own bones
Can’t look me in the eyes no more
And only chat over the phone
Went from seeking sanctuary
To running off home
Whenever I caught you out
Doing those things you said you don’t
I know you want me to take you back
But I actually mean it when I say I won’t
I’ve cut those tethers, the contract
I’m not your piece you have on loan
I know I’m prone to backtrack
To viciousness and I hate to be alone
But who I am with you
Ain’t somebody I want to know.
