You were the one...
Until the one was someone else.
A girl with oceans for eyes instead of embers.
She could drown the fire in yours.
She reminded me of a love I was raised to know.
She's not seductive with red on her lips, but she feels familiar.
I'd rather come home to certainty everyday than to the possibility of a burned home.
I can't respond to your texts anymore and look upon your passionate smile. Not when I know I can't return the honesty.
Because in all honesty, you're just another number now in my unopened notifications.
Your carmine laugh doesn't cross my mind and every night I sleep just fine.
I don't want to hurt you, so I'm hoping to fade out of your life.
I don't know any other way to let you down.
