Never Am I The Thing You Change For

 

It’s 3 AM,

And I’m already nothing to you. 

Already the thing you yell at.

Already the thing you can live without 

apologizing to.

No need to say you still love me.

Make sure I know in my bones

that you can be fine to leave without me.

You know me, you’ve had me,

no longer scared to lose me. 

Lumped together with all of your 

other girls. 

My worst nightmares come true. 

The thing you quickly tire of

so I’m returned to my shelf.

Just like them all. 

Not the thing you need.

Not the thing you change for. 

The thing that’s never as good 

in person. 

The reason no one ever wants forever.

Always so special until you see I’m not. 

I want you, they wanted you too. 

Nothing new, nothing different. 

Treat me like you treat them.

A girl, just not the one you needed.

Just someone else you almost

ended up with.
