You watch her watch him drink a glass of wine.
She giggles at his jokes, he's such a funny guy.
He's pretending to listen, I know his game.
Under this facade, I promise you, he's so lame.
When you took her dancing did she wear that short, short skirt?
Were you friendly or were you a horrendous flirt?
I've tried for you, and you've spat it back.
My smile will fade like Alice's Cheshire Cat.
We don't let our eyes deviate.
The glass is on the edge. It's waiting to break.
We're stupid; we don't know what we have.
With the giggling and the thrilling, it's all turned out bad.
Now I'm a mile from her body,
In this double, double bed.
And an ocean of salty spite
Is left spinning through her head.
I reach with an arm to apologise
For what my stupid mouth said.
Then she turns in her kindness
And gives from her legs.
We awake in the morning
Erased of all that tearing.
Those naive carvings barely noticeable
In the stare we're sharing.
